The Twelfth Doctor

[classicwhoblog]

Yeah, I live-blogged the announcement today. I had my laptop with me next to the TV so I figured what the hell. My mom was probably raising her eyebrow behind my back that I was going back and forth from the TV to Twitter every few seconds. But anyway, here, have a little snapshot of Baby's First Doctor Announcement. :)

Yep, Bernard had auditioned for Four - as did Graham Crowden AKA Soldeed ("Lord Niiiiiiiiimon!"). I can see them both working, but I'm glad we got Tom.

I'm pleased because a) Peter Capaldi is a great actors, and b) it's great to see an older Doctor again (coincidentally Peter is the same age as William Hartnell when he was cast for the role). I can't help but feel a little bit disappointed, though, because among the "it's probably Peter Capaldi" rumours there's also been some speculation that it was probably Sam Troughton - and I'm completely biased when it comes to that family.

Yeah, that and your subsequent tumblr posts were adorable

I was very pleasantly surprised. Not my first choice, but I'll gladly take it.
