OK, OK … !
I WAS WRONG ABOUT DANIEL RIGBY AND DAMIEN MOLONY … !
And quite happy to say so … !
Who we HAVE got as the Twelfth Doctor, though … ?
Is noted Scottish actor, Peter Capaldi.
THAT I didn’t expect.
Really … !
But I have to say that, now the news of his bagging the role of the 12th Doctor is sinking in, I feel Capaldi is the perfect piece of casting for the Moffat era.
I personally feel a lot of Steven Moffat’s work has been somewhat darker than (say) the Russell T Davies years.
Darker, edgier, and — for me, at any rate — reminiscent of Iain M. Banks
I feel his choice of Matt Smith was an unfortunate move: although not as unfortunate as it could have been, as Mr Smith is a very talented actor: bringing a certain amount of inspired lunacy to the role.
I can only hope that Matt Smith’s future career is good: lord knows he deserves it*.
But back to what I WAS saying …
I feel that, with the casting of Peter Capaldi … ?
The Steven Moffat era of Dr Who is going to hit the proverbial jackpot.

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
