Peter Capaldi is the new Doctor Who

The Third Scot, after McCoy, and Tennant. The 13th regeneration of the Doctor..

(The 11 plus John Hurt)




You may remember Peter from...

His OSCAR winning short about the life of Franz Kafka

The Lair of the White Worm _ A favorite of mine in my fevered years 

Malcom Tucker, in The Thick of it

As well as the fires of Pompeii and Torchwood.

He also played a Doctor from W.H.O in World War Z

*********

Hopefully Mr. C, is a big enough cheese to shake the series up. We need more bite in the script. Strax, and Jenny are very good, but they have been overused. Strax is a one note character.
It also changes the dynamic of the Doctor, the Doctor is no longer a semi-Romantic lead.

Will from the in-betweeners, with bad skin, look at the area arround my left eye. I have just had a bout of conjuctiveitis. That and my half smile, to conceal my cracked incisor and dirty teeth... I don't know why I actually possess this picture. School Photographs, now there is racket. They take you out of class, and take your picture, and charge you for the picture. Anyway, my mother never paid for the school photographer. She had 4 children in the same school,  and paying for 4 photographs, would not have been cheap. I do remember the day though. Before me, the busty Kelly Panei, had gone first. The photographer had made a crack about beauty and the beast, so I knocked over his stand on the way out... But for years after, this was my mental image of myself...
