I guess everyone is now nominating for the 13th (and last) Doctor once Capaldi steps down sometime in the future.
What?

My personal nominations:



Ideal for some of the more surreal situations.



Certainly a different take on the role...

But my personal number 1 wish for the new Dr Who:



Perfect - he's got the 'look', the Englishness, the surrealism

Bill Bailey for Dr Who!!

Eddie would be good but Dr Who in drag? Wouldn't work. A transvestite Dr Who?Actually come to think of it yeah why not ?

I'd like to see either Kirk Douglas or Jet Li in this role.

A "darker" doctor? Well, he's got his hair more grey than dark, if you ask me!

Good call, Holly would have been great.
 
It was a bit odd watching the BBC "exclusive" reveal of Peter Capaldi last night when it had obviously already been leaked.

It sure would be fun, though.  They haven't usually gone for such well-recognised doctors, but he's versatile.  He could be a TimeLord Flashheart.  His Rik Mayall Presents series made the biggest impression on me, by the way.

Choosing Jon Culshaw of Dead Ringers would open up some past incarnation possibilities.



EDIT: Capaldi announced as the new Doctor by the BBC:

To me he looks like Tennant a little too much. Not that that is a problem per say.

No, really. This whole thing is just a ploy, then there's gunna be a surprise twist and I am made the new doctor.
I also am allowed to write scripts.
I may go in a car direction now, like the Dr and The Stig get drunk and start racing Ferrari's around. Maybe crash a Mitchell & Webb party.

Hmm.

"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."

Seeing as the bookies stopped taking bets on Capaldi on Friday, apparently not such a big secret!

I've hoped for a female Doctor for some time (could see some new and interesting opportunities for the sonic screwdriver then), but wouldn't expect it.
