The New Doctor Has Been Revealed!

Briefly: After what seems like weeks (and weeks) of waiting, pondering, and speculation, BBC has finally revealed just who will take up the reins as Doctor Who‘s new Doctor.

The network has chosen 55-year old Scottish actor and Torchwood / World War Z star Peter Capaldi to portray the twelfth Doctor, whose role will officially begin after Matt Smith’s final performance in this year’s Christmas special.

I (still) have never seen an episode of the series in my entire life (despite having it recommended to me almost daily), so I really have no thoughts on the casting choice. Fans, are you looking forward to seeing Capaldi in action? Will he be a worthy replacement of Matt Smith, or is it simply too early to tell? Be sure to sound out below!
