New Who

They had a special on BBC America this afternoon to announce the next Dr Who.

It's Peter Capaldi

THanks Joe!

This is interesting, the twelfth Doctor. Somewhere in the back of my mind I remember Tom Bakers Doctor saying he, the Doctor, could only regenerate twelve times. If my memory is correct then perhaps this is the beginning of the end of Dr Who?? Sure hope I'm wrong, such a hit series should continue as long as possible.

Guybrush addressed the 12 Dr Who's in this thread here.

It may help clarify. It's near the end of that thread.

Thanks Joe.

Fun Fact: in "World War Z" Peter Capaldi played a W.H.O Doctor.

How cool is that BobH! I'm looking forward to World War Z!

Ahhh a nice choice. Looks like 'The Doctor' for sure.

It's funny, William Hartnell was 55 years old when he started playing the 'Doctor' and he looked so old, Peter Capaldi is 55 years old and looks 'just right'. Is my age showing???

Just to understand this correctly:

Matt Smith as the 11ht doctor WHO leaves after season 7B or season 8A? or after season 8? The reason I'm asking is because a Danish TV station (DR3) is airing this program, Dr. Who.

And we're into season 7A, and just starting 7B.

As you can tell, we're a little behind in Denmark...with our tv shows, I mean

Thanks Ana. It must be artistic license for 12 not to be the magic number anymore.
