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 someone comments. 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 grown up. 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.
Thank you.
