Sorry, Flint. I did post after I knew Capaldi was the new Doctor.

I heard on 5 Live and the way it was handled made me quite cross.
To be fair to the presenter, he is a cricket expert, and it just happened to be announced while he was presenting.
He made a couple of numbskull comments including "Peter Capaldi uses quite strong language in The Thick of It.." Eh? Capaldi = ACTOR not scriptwriter.
He also kept referring to the new Doctor Who. No, he is the new Doctor. I know that's geeky, but this is a BBC radio station for goodness sake.

I do have to forget my dislike of Frobisher (Torchwood: Children of Earth)
Capaldi gave a great performance of a shitty person. But I do associate his face as that of a shitty person.

But yes, I am happy with the choice.
I can have a crush on someone older than I am again.
Never fancied Smith, just enjoyed him. Tennant edged in as just over a year older than me but gosh he looked younger.

My main question is whether he will be a Scottish Doctor, or an English one?
Either is good for me.
