Who should play the next Doctor?

Alan Rickman.

A recent suggestion I saw and liked: John Hannah.

Peter Capaldi

David Mitchell

That might’ve been me. Though now I can’t remember if I read it somewhere else first.

I also think Kevin McNally would be good.

The next Doctor is going to be announced live on BBC1 on a special show this coming Sunday at 7pm. It will be simulcast on BBC America.

As always, Gary Busey is clearly the right answer.

Yep, I hope they pick a good one.

I was coming in to mention this. Instead, I’ll mention that Peter Capaldi is still the bookies’ favorite.

A couple of days before Matt Smith was announced he went from nowhere to favourite on the betting exchanges…

For those who can’t handle time zones, that makes it 2pm Eastern time. Set the DVRs!

People who can’t handle time zones are probably going to struggle following Doctor Who

No they won’t.

They have, and they will.

The betting sites have been weird all day - Ladbrokes withdrew their book earlier, but it seems to be back up now. I’m getting ready to go out for a meal - it won’t be weird if I’m trying to stream the BBC 1 live show on my phone will it?

A chap called Rigby is getting some backing, but please please please be Peter Capaldi.

Ben Daniels would be good too

Can we in the states stream the live reveal? I don’t have BBC America if it is airing on there.

I understand that it will be shown live on BBC America. Less than 30 mins to go before the start. I expect there’ll be a load of puffery before the big reveal.

good one.

I guess I can’t see it live, then.

Can you guys post who it is as it is announced?

It’s John Oliver!
