Peter Capaldi Is Our New 12th Doctor!

"The Thick Of It" star Peter Capaldi is our new 12th Doctor from this Christmas onwards for the next few years.  At the age of 55, he is the same age as the First Doctor, William Hartnell, when he first started 50 years ago. I never once thought he would get given the role. He was announced as the next Doctor by presenter Zoe Ball on Sunday night near the end of the BBC special "Doctor Who Live: The Next Doctor". My reaction was insane!!! My girlfriend recorded my reaction and put it on Facebook. It's all real and I never faked it at all. That was my reaction for an actor who was never my first choice. Can you imagine what it would have been like if the actor who was chosen WAS my top choice?! I would put up the video on here but it's on Facebook only and you'd have to be my friend to see it, sorry guys. Here's a link to the intense moment when Ball announced Capaldi as the new Doctor: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Zim8zL3Q5k
I never at once thought an actor of his age would be given the role of The Doctor. I thought the BBC would keep going for a younger actor, but obviously not. Capaldi is an extremely amazing actor and hats off to him for getting the role after seeing him as the over the top foul-mouthed character, Malcolm Tucker in "The Thick Of It". I thinks he's the only actor to play The Doctor, who's said FUCK like over 100 times in his career. Here's a link to Malcolm Tucker saying FUCK almost 90 times in "The Thick Of It" big-screen spin-off "In The Loop" with the late James Gandolfini: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLlEdEx3tn8
When I see Capaldi, I can't think of any other older actor to play The Doctor, well other than the amazing John Hurt, but I don't need to say anything else about that obviously. Capaldi will nail it as an older Doctor. When I look at him, especially in his wee announcement video, I can just see an older Doctor, like an older version of either Matt Smith or David Tennant looking back at me. Peter Capaldi IS the older Doctor!!! I can't wait to see what he's like when Smith regenerates into him. I think it's going to be hilarious, "Oh god am old again" type of hilarious. And just think of the chemistry he'll have with his younger companion Clara, played by the smart and awesome Jenna Louise Coleman. It's going to be great TV.
I'm just so excited now. New Doctor, new opening credits, new arragement of the theme tune, new costume, new TARDIS, new sonic screwdriver (well it's assumed that they're all going to be fresh new versions to go with the fresh new Doctor). OH, here's the link to Capaldi's wee announcement video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDGzzGRKukE
