Not sure if this is many people's cup of tea but last night the bbc announced that the new Doctor was going to be Peter Capaldi.
I thought it was a bit of a shocker , I know the bookies had him as favourite but I thought they were sniffing up the wrong tree.
On the last few years they chose young allegedly attractive unknowns .
Signing up capaldi is totally a kick back against that , don't get me wrong he is a fine actor and a bit of Malcolm tucker would be fun in the tardis .
I might be reaching here but this is the shows 50 year and final regeneration I wonder if we are going to get a much more adult darker tone to the show .
On different but similar note I read a very interesting article from the states about the show saying how much it was worth to the bbc with overseas syndication and DVD merchandising , it's basically the beebs cash cow .
So they are unlikely to kill it off
