[quote=Irish Times]The Glasgow-born actor is the first Oscar winner to take on the role. He won an Academy Award in 1994 for the best short film (Live Action) for Franz Kafka’s It’s a Wonderful Life, but Capaldi really became a household name thanks to his performance as foul-mouthed spin-doctor Malcolm Tucker in The Thick of It. He has also written several shows including a documentary about 500 years history of Scottish portrait painting and Cricklewood Greats — a spoof about the heyday of the British film industry.[/quote]

Not sure about the accent...
The accent is great. Don't know what you're complaining about.
Oh dear. They better cake the makeup on him because a certain speech ending in a crazed man yelling "Ugly!" over and over again comes to mind.
I'd rather they reveal the new doctor in the show itself, this kinda takes away the surprise
did anyone notice he played the role of a WHO doctor in World War Z
:v:

That's what he's going to say during his regeneration.

He fucking better.
They honestly could've picked someone better suited for the role.

Tis what everyone said about David and then Matt aswell....

I personally think this is a great choice. Peter has always been brilliant in playing the roles he is given. He may not seem like the doctor-type but that's a good thing. Having each doctor be the same as the last just makes the series boring. This will be a nice change to the show, not to mention he's one of my favourite actors.
Love him, this is good news.
[QUOTE=SoUl_ReApEr2;41711215]Tis what everyone said about David and then Matt aswell....[/QUOTE]
well everyone i spoke to thought David would be a good doctor, and he sure was (the best doctor to date in my opinion). but a lot of people thought Matt wouldn't be as good as Dave, and in some respects he wasn't, but he was good nonetheless
i have a funny feeling this new guy will do a really good job of it, probably surpassing Matt's effort (but really the writing of the latest series was what let him down).
Best choice ever, I am waiting for a 'thick of it' styled Doctor Who spin-off where he travels around the universe telling everyone to fuck-off and criticizing them and making them feel little.
called it
MALCOLM TUCKER THE DALEK FUCKER.
might get me to start watching again, AAA+ decision right here
only thing is now I won't be able to use tumblr for about a year because of the torrent of hot lady spunk that comes with major dr who news
what in the hell is all of this about? why is this so important what actor they choose

Gotta keep those spunking teen girls happy and keep them writing soppy fan-fiction bro.
[QUOTE=breakyourfac;41711385]what in the hell is all of this about? why is this so important what actor they choose[/QUOTE]
it's MOSTLY false hype from the BBC but every fucker in britain watches it and all of tumblr too - so it's nice that they didn't choose an actor I found completely fucking intolerable like the last time
[QUOTE=breakyourfac;41711385]what in the hell is all of this about? why is this so important what actor they choose[/QUOTE]
because it is a very popular franchise in some parts of the world
the entire world isn't just michigan, breakyourfac
I mean by my measure the more northern the doctor sounds the better he his cos christopher eccleston was great, so having malcolm tucker in the role should be fucking amazing
[QUOTE=breakyourfac;41711385]what in the hell is all of this about? why is this so important what actor they choose[/QUOTE]
because some are worse than others (matt smith for example was a step down from eccleston/tennant, but mostly due to writers) wheras peter is such a huge surprise due to his role as malcolm tucker that everyone is very pleased we get a possibly angry scotsman

i just want one that's at least slightly serious rather than the *zany!* shit that it degenerated into
capaldi is actually really nice and quite soft spoken but I don't see him playing a *wacky* character which is good
