Interesting how they are playing it up this time, as opposed to the secrecy around Matt Smith's getting the role. Be nice if BBC America ran this, but that would entail them bumping a rerun of Star Trek or Kitchen Nightmares.

I'm excited, but I'm really going to miss Matt. I was thinking the other day that this will be the third doctor for my 9 year old. Really cool if you think about it.

1 CST on BBC America according to DirecTv.

Hmmmm, for a few moments I thought John Hurt really might take over the role, but this news seems to contradict that theory because this sounds like somebody all new.

But, all the hoopla might also be the way of welcoming the first big celebrity Doctor aka Hurt.

Hmmm, don't know what to think

I will miss Matt Smith though .... It took a while but he grew on me bigtime

After I got used to Smith I started to HATE Tennant

Yay! 2:00pm eastern time according to USA Today

[Bruce Banner]

Smith definitely improved in the role as he went on... Until he actually became my favourite of the "new" Doctors.

One of the strongest rumours at the moment is that they might have cast Peter Capaldi.






And another strong contender is apparently Ben Daniels:

>they might have cast Peter Capaldi

It'd be nice to see an older dude for a change. This guy looks kinda creepy, which might be a nice change.

....who in this picture REALLY looks like he needs a hug.

Don C.

Either of those two look like they would make a better Master.

Is that top guy the one from Children of Earth ?

If so, I always thought he resembled House

[Gorn Captain]

Is that top guy the one from Children of Earth ?

Yep, he led the whole project.
Could make a decent Doctor.
We'll know in a matter of hours.

[Mikey]

I can hardly wait

fingers crossed it's not Alex Kingston, and unfortunately i'm serious

[Gorn Captain]

Well, Mike, it's been announced here....and it IS Alex Kingston, sweetie!

[B-Lister]

Wow! Rupert Grint!

We finally got our Ginger Doctor!

[palitoy]

that choice should make folks here happy, oldest Doctor in a long time.
