Malcolm Tucker as Doctor Who?

[Frutos]

I'm happy with that.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

I haven't watched the programme since DT left it, but I will certainly be tuning in to see the marvelous Mr Capaldi take on the role.

 

[Mowgli37]

The problem with Capaldi is that he has already appeared prominently 'in-universe' in Torchwood as John Frobisher (in which he gave one of the best performances I have seen for a long time) and before that in Doctor Who itself in the 4th series. While I think he would be a great Doctor I think he has unfortunately been ruled out due to these previous roles.

I'm feeling a bit silly now

 

[Puppet Master]

He's a bit too old :/

 

[Frutos]

He's a bit too old :/

He's the same age as William Hartnell was when he got the part.

He's a bit too old :/

Another young British actor like Matt Smith would have killed the show, it needed a change of direction and this guy is an amazing actor

 

[Cambs Seagull]

had money on Gus. Damn.

 

[supaseagull]

Very pleased

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Some (very) early work

We should have seen it coming. Peter Capaldi played "W.H.O. Doctor" in World War Z...

If that was the case Nicholas Courtney (The Brigadier), Colin Baker, Freema Agyeman & Karen Gillan would never have got their leading parts in the series. Bernard Cribbins too if you want to count the Peter Cushing movies in too.

Doctor Who has a long history of people appearing in minor roles for one episode & then casting them in a major role further down the line with no issue. Looking forward to it as love Capaldi as Tucker!!

So Who is the new DR who can't wait till we find out

 

[jasetheace]

An incoherent sweaty effing and blinding at a dalek. He should play it with a serious scottish chip on his shoulder. Comedy Gold.

 

[T soprano]

Apparently it's Peter Capaldi
A bit older than the previous DRs not sure if that will work

 

[Wozza]

F**k the f**k off you giant robotic dildo. F**kety bye.

How do you know it's rubbish if you don't watch it?Or are you just being a bellend to be 'controversial'?

 

[DTES]

He's been in 'Doctor Who' itself ('The Fires of Pompeii') but it doesn't seem to have ruled him out (and at least a couple of recent assistants have been in previous episodes in walk-on parts).

And Karen Gillan played a soothsayer in that same episode, yet went on to be a companion for years. It all seems to revolve around Pompeii......

 

[Scoffers]

I think Capaldi will be f@@$ing excellent as long as he can hold his tongue!
