I'd also like Benedict Cumberbatch for the part.

Re: The new Doctor
 
Is this show confirmed?

I know it's the 50th but seems odd doing a live reveal.

Cumberbatch wouldn't happen as he is on Moffats other BBC show.

I'd prefer an older Doctor, say in his 40s.

Update: this has been posted on BBC.co.uk/doctorwho

Quote:
Back in June we confirmed that Matt Smith would be leaving Doctor Who and since then there’s been intense speculation about who would be taking over the role of the Doctor. But the guesswork and conjecture end this weekend… The BBC will reveal the identity of the next Doctor during a live BBC One show that begins at 7pm on Sunday, 04 August. You can watch a trailer for the programme now!

The news about the announcement has been delivered in the following press release:

Doctor Who Live: The Next Doctor

In a special one-off live television event on BBC One this Sunday 4th August at 7pm, the next Doctor will be exclusively revealed to the nation.

Widely regarded as one of the most hotly contested roles in British television, the show's host Zoe Ball will unveil the 12th Doctor in the first ever interview in front of a live studio audience set against the backdrop of a swirling vortex, amongst Daleks and the TARDIS.

The half hour show will include live special guests, Doctors old and new, as well as companions and celebrity fans.
Quote:
Ben Stephenson, Controller, BBC Drama Commissioning says: “We can't wait to unveil the next Doctor with everyone live on BBC1 on Sunday night. Amongst all the speculation and betting, there has been lots of fun and intrigue at work as we've been using the codename Houdini as a decoy! It’s the biggest secret in showbiz, even those working with the new Doctor on other projects at the moment have no idea they are in the presence of the 12th incarnation.”

Keep up to date with all the latest news about the show and special guests as we build to the big climax over the next few days and follow www.facebook.com/BBCOne, @ BBCOne and @bbcdoctorwho and bbc.co.uk/doctorwho

The special live show is made by BBC Entertainment and Events for BBC One, Guy Freeman is Executive producer and Pinki Chambers is Executive Commissioning Editor. Commissioned by Charlotte Moore, Controller BBC One.

The show will be simulcast live on BBC America. Doctor Who is produced by BBC Cymru Wales.

If it wasn't for the "Impossible Girl" conclusion during The Name of The Doctor, i would have put money on Jenna Coleman being the twelfth Doctor.

That said, it is Steven Moffat at the helm, so i still might :D

Hang on - what happened to John Hurt?

Pierre 02-08-2013 16:33
Re: The new Doctor
 
John hurt has already been the doctor, although we are yet to see it!

I'd prefer an older doctor.

Sean Bean would be good.

Re: The new Doctor
 
Revealing who it is should be done at the time of the regeneration, not months before.

Chris 02-08-2013 17:08
Re: The new Doctor
 
That's not practical. Once the new guy is on set, a leak is all but inevitable. AFAIK the casting of a new Doctor has always been announced well ahead of the actor's first appearance in the show.

MalteseFalcon 02-08-2013 17:30
Re: The new Doctor
 
Back in the 70's it might have been possible for new doctors to be kept secet. However with Facebook, Twitter and people using mobiles/tablets to take pictures videos means that it would be nigh on impossible to stop a leak to the world of a new doctor's identity.

Whatever happened to Idris Elba? I understood that it was going to be either a black male as the doctor or JLC was going to be the first female doctor. Either way, I won't be watching. Watched a couple of episodes back when Billie Piper was in it and just couldn't get into it.

Chris 02-08-2013 18:15
Re: The new Doctor
 
It is vanishingly unlikely that they will cast a female. Despite the tweaks in personality that occur from actor to actor, the Doctor is, has always been, essentially an English gentleman. The show doesn't need stunt casting to make pointless statements about sexual equality. Time Ladies have featured in the show often enough, and the Time Lady companion of the late 70s and early 80s (Romana) was pointedly more capable and highly qualified than the Doctor.

I only just got used to Matt!

Who will the next one be? No idea but I bet Mr Moffat will make an interesting choice.

He is a Doctor but not The Doctor. Seems to most that he will be between the 8th and 9th. Probably did some bad things during the time war. So his memory was forgotten about.

Apparently he's going to be Nelson Mandela in a biopic about the great man though he might be available later.

That has already been filmed, however I do think he has a busy schedule with being in a few movies now.

"The Doctor" is not a given name. Time Lords give themselves monkiers depending on how they want the Universe to see them. Hence the Master is a mentally unstable egomaniac bent on domination (as is the Rani, 'Rani' being a Sanscrit word meaning 'Queen').

The Time Lord we only know as the Doctor, it turns out, has not had 11 incarnations, but 12. However he refuses to consider the John Hurt incarnation to be an incarnation of the Doctor, because of something he did while in that incarnation that is incompatible with how he prefers to live, and how he prefers others to understand him. What that terrible thing was, was and when it happened, I expect we will find out on 26 November.

Incidentally ... whoever is revealed as the 12th Doctor tomorrow, will actually be the 13th incarnation, meaning the show is now only couple of years off hitting that inconvenient regeneration limit. I know they've alluded to it once or twice already but I expect when it comes to it they will write something explicit into the script. That, however, is not for this Christmas, but for whenever the new boy decides to quit.

I was on my iPad so didn't want to type all that lol. Up till the eight doctor it was only the 7th regeneration as the first doctor hadn't used any regenerations yet. Not sure how it stands now but due to the Timeloards ceasing to exist it may have put an end to the regen limit. As I think it was a limit imposed by them and not a genetic limit

What about David Tennant returning?

Pierre 03-08-2013 22:19
Re: The new Doctor
 
I think it should be a " name" and not an " unknown".

As I said before, Sean Bean would be my pick.

Followed by:

Richard E Grant - who has already played him.

The other guy out of the mighty bosh, that's not Noel Fielding.

Mark Gatiss - written several episodes and part of the Who family.

Robert Carlyle - what's not to like.

Slip of the tongue, or deliberate misinformation?

Should be interesting. I recall seeing him in Torchwood.

Re: The New Doctor (Peter Capaldi)
 
He was rescued by Tennant in fires of pompeii. He also killed himself in children of the earth. They explained it when Gwen joined torchwood after starring in a who episode. Can't see them referring to any of his previous appearances as it's not really possible to do so.

007stuart 04-08-2013 19:42
Re: The New Doctor (Peter Capaldi)
 
Hopefully there will be a few post watershed episodes so Peter Capaldi can add a few Malcolm Tucker style comments to his dialogue such as where's my sonic Effin screwdriver?

Remember though it was confirmed when Romana regenerated she chose a previously visited character to look like as the actress had already appeared in Wno.

So really the Doctor whould be able to regenerate and look like someone he has met before.

Pierre 04-08-2013 23:37
Re: The New Doctor (Peter Capaldi)
 
Yes, wasn't he in Children of Earth? One of the best pieces of British Sci-Fi ever.

It's a great choice.

I was never a fan of Matt Smith, he did get better and his last season was his best.

But I really think Capaldi could be truly great in he part

I wasn't sure about Capaldi at first ,but thinking about it i think he will be ok and i think he will bring out a slighter darker side of the Doctor

Stephen 05-08-2013 11:54
Re: The New Doctor (Peter Capaldi)
 
He is also the same age that Hartnell was when he got the role.

There have been a couple of Doctors with a dark side already. Colin Bakers 6th Doctor was pretty insane and dark at times and McCoys 7th had a very dark and mysterious albeit somes rather fun side to him.

I think Capaldi is going to be great, can only wonder what his costume will look like.

Re: The New Doctor (Peter Capaldi)
 
I'm glad it's Capaldi, always liked him. Stopped watching the Matt Smith ones, nothing against him per se, just got fed up with all the running about and shouting. Hopefully Capaldi will be a little more dignified.

Moffat has already hinted that the aim is to do D12 as "a young man in an old body", which of course is what Hartnell's doctor was. Some of the uber-geeks are reading a lot into the Hartnellesque way Capaldi clutched his lapels when being unveiled.

Personally I would have liked a young Dr... (ooer missus) - I think having the younger actors play The Doctor is partially what's responsible for re-igniting the series.

And they're also responsible for the influx of this type of fangirl..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzWOlMif-Fw

From what i read, Moffat always wanted an older Doctor during his tenure, but was over ruled by the BBC who were worried they'd lose their younger audience.
