Introducing The 12th Doctor: Peter Capaldi

Maybe this isn't the most flattering photo...
The world went crazy today when BBC announced who would be replacing Matt Smith on the widely popular sci-fi series Doctor Who, and that man is Scottish actor Peter Capaldi. Capaldi, perhaps best known by his role in another BBC series The Thick Of It, as well as guest appearances on other shows like Torchwood, was announced to play the 12th incarnation of The Doctor, starting after Matt Smith leaves the show at the end of the year.

Capaldi is an amazing actor, and Whovians (that's what Doctor Who fans call themselves) went wild when it was revealed today that he would take on the role. I think Capaldi would do a terrific job as The Doctor, and it's nice to see a more mature face playing the role again. Capaldi will take over the role from Smith after the Christmas special, just after the 50th anniversary special in November. I can't wait.

    I re-viewed Fires Of Pompeii, in which he played a Roman living in Pompeii, who bought the Tardis off a Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler type. He will make a fine Doctor. He's about the same age as William Hartnell was when he got the role.
