What's wrong with Matt Smith? He may not be as pretty as Tennant
with that big chin and all, but he played the part
so much better (imo of course). He's by far my favourite "new" Doctor (however Tom Baker will always be
my Doctor)...
Looking forward with anticipation to Capaldi's rendition. Did you know he (and Tennant actually) are life long Dr Who nerds themselves??
3 days to go...
I didn't like him from the get go. I liked Rory and Amy a lot, though! I was really pissed that the weeping angels got them.
I thought Capaldi was great in "The Fires of Pompeii." When I heard he would be the new Doctor, I was excited to see what he could do. You heard Jenna Coleman quit, right? She was also in Captain America.
Yes, I knew that. You knew that David Tennant is married to Peter Davison's daughter?
Don't forget that BBC America is having a Doctor Who marathon all the way up to Saturday.

There's just three days to wait now until Peter Capaldi makes his full episode debut as The Doctor in Series 8 of
Doctor Who. A huge, lifelong fan of the show, Peter landed his dream role when he was cast as the Doctor last year, a part that has already made him recognised around the world. Fortunately he has had the benefit of advice from a couple of people who already know what he will be experiencing: his predecessors Matt Smith and David Tennant.
"We are often in touch. They have been very good," he said. "David did take me for a coffee before it had been announced, and he just pointed out to me that I would become more visible and that my life would change in some way."
Peter had been following the series since its return in 2005, and although he landed a guest part in
The Fires Of Pompeii opposite David Tennant he never expected that the lead role would come his way.
"I was always interested but I never thought they’d come to me," he said. "I loved Chris [Eccleston], David and Matt - all of them have been fabulous. I was always hoping someone would call me and say, what do you think of being in an episode? But I never thought they would think of me as Doctor Who."
Doctor Who returns on Saturday 23rd August at 7.50pm BST on BBC One

^^^ classic story... to be honest though, I'm not a big fan of Davros (although Michael Wisher and that scene are the best
