    I'm not watching the reveal show, but any news on his hat? I'd like him to have a really interesting hat.

    Sure he will be very good.  Still cant help but think they should have gone with a woman.

    I'm no Who fan, but Capaldi and Hurt? Wow!

    If they can 'adult' up the show a bit and write proper scripts it could be amazing!

    Not really news, but a great choice. Hopefully they'll go a bit less slapstick and a bit more depth. Game on! :)

    He's fast becoming a big Hollywood star .. you won't see him doing something like Doctor Who unfortunately. He's just jumped ship from Luther.

    Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!

    I promise I'm not sexist, but I am so relieved that its not a woman. That would have been political correctness gone mad - in my opinion!

    Malcolm Fucking Tucker is a great pick.

    The whole "Doctor should be female" lobby does my head in. James Bond isn't a woman and Batman isn't a woman, just as Catwoman isn't a man. It's not an issue, it's just the way a character is written, and why should that be changed just because the construct of the universe allows it. Bah!

    I also don't remember that opinion ever coming from someone who actually watches the show either..

    I remember him in Local Hero. That was *thirty* years ago. I'm old... although obviously so is he, so there may be hope for me yet!

    I'm glad it's an older actor (I'm also glad I can finally talk about it!) - I was surprised to read that he's the same age Wm Hartnell was in 1963.

    Hmm.

    We got the fab John Hurt stuff first though
    >:D<

    John Hurt is playing a previously unseen incarnation of the Doctor - the 9th, thus mucking up the numbering thereafter.

    See all on 23rd November.

    One only numbers the good Doctors. Not the bad ones. The ones who started and / or finished the Time War.

    At least, that's what I choose to believe.
