The new Doctor Who

Whoops! Female of course!

Love Peter Capaldi, a femail Dr Who wouldn't work for me.

Another Scot!! Time for a woman I think but I can't say who - almost anybody!

Someone else tweeted about wanting them to bring back hiding behind the settee types of stories.

I did. Did you?

There was a funny tweet about this. Something along the lines of "This is bigger than when Balamory got a new Josie Jump."

I had heard that Olivia Coleman was in the running, I was hoping!

Jess I agree that it should have been a woman this time, and I'm still chuckling over the Ruth Jones suggestion!!!
I thought Helen Mirren had been suggested for the part.
Jo Brand, would have been fun too.

I'm happy they've finally chosen - he is a good actor too. He has been in Doctor Who before of course - he was the Ancient Roman father of a Pompeian family rescued from the volcano by The Doctor and Donna. He was also in Torchwood, playing a top civil servant - not a nice character in that one.

I've loved Doctor Who from when it first started; I was18. I remember running downstairs to watch it when I heard the electronic music, which was quite new back then.

At first I thought Capaldi might be a bit old, but then I remembered the first Doctors.....

I do like Peter Capaldi, but I shall miss the swearing.

I have just confirmed with my grandaughter that the new Dr Who is Peter Capaldi, and they looked at me with a new respect.Fancy old Granny knowing that!

I'd have cast Ruth Jones myself, but there you go. Maybe next time.

At age 76 I love Dr Who but never took to Matt Smith. Christopher and David did it for me but have high hopes of Peter Capaldi.

Peter Capaldi wow he will be so good he definatley has the "look"

Am glad they have decided to take a different direction, yet stay in the 'quirky' zone. An older more mature actor might tempt me back, had gone off it since the Divine David had left.

Excellent choice. Peter Capaldi is such a good actor.

Oh I like him. Was hoping for Ben Whishaw though .

That bloke from 'The Thick of It'...

Who is it then?

oh yawn, another white man.
