Any guess as to who'll be the new Dr Who will be?

I thought David Tennant was excelent..

Much better than Matt Smith.

I didnt think he made a good Dr Who.

Glad hes going tonight.

And Russell T Davies was the best director or even executive producer.

He tookit over after a long lull in the production.

When he was on it it was really great.

It couldnt have been bettered.

Peter Capaldi looks as though he'll be ok but ts upto the script writer to make good Dr Who so lets hope the script writer does a good job like Russel T. Davis.

Was it Jon or Bill Pertwee who was Dr. Who in the early 70's?

With all the votes counted in Zimbabwe’s general election, officials have today confirmed that President Robert Mugabe has been elected as the new Doctor Who. The 89-year-old will be unveiled live on BBC1 on Sunday night, along with his assistant Morgan Tsvangirai, and will take up the role in December when the current Doctor’s term of office comes to an end.

‘This is a splendid victory for our glorious President,’ said a Zanu-PF spokesman. ‘He deserves to become a Time Lord – no one has done more to turn back time and rewrite history in Zimbabwe than our great leader. He is the people’s choice and has an outstanding record in facing up to those white cybermen.’

The announcement ends months of speculation as to who will be replacing the incumbent Matt Smith. Mr Mugabe emerged as the frontrunner in the last fortnight after a number of other contenders were ruled out: Edward Snowden because of travel commitments, Nelson Mandela due to health issues and James Corden due to decades of vote rigging and sustained human rights abuses.

However, both bookmakers and the Electoral Commission have expressed surprise at Mugabe’s appointment, especially given that the iconic sci-fi role was not on any ballot paper. ‘The whole casting process was seriously comprised,’ said one observer from Equity. ‘Peter Capaldi and the one who played Rupert Grint in Harry Potter both tried to put their names forward but they were turned away by Mugabe’s henchmen.’

But Olusegun Obasanjo, Head of the African Union observers, declared the election ‘free, honest and credible – or at least in comparison to the commissioning process for most BBC programmes.’ And Steven Moffat, executive producer, confirmed that he was in no way swayed in his choice by the dozen masked and armed strangers who have been camped in his garden for the last month.

It is thought that many of the new Doctor’s adventures will feature his famous arch-enemy, the Daleks. They are said to be furious to learn that Mugabe has the same catchphrase as them and that for years every time someone has contradicted him he shouts ‘Exterminate!’

the original can never be replaced,

eg, Sean Connery is "THE ONLY" James Bond. despite subsequent actors playing the part very well.

I went off Dr. Who when Matt Smith got the part. I felt he didnt do enough for the Dr's image llike a nutty professor.

Wasn't sure about Matt Smith, but he really grew into the role

Capaldi has been a fan all His life

thought it was a nice touch, last night when they showed His letter to the Radio Times when he was 15. He wrote that he really hoped that the BBC would do a big 50 Year anniversery show, little did He know, he'd be in it.

Pity his accent sounds more 'Edinburgh festival', than Glasgow West

At least he ill be different which always makes Dr Who good veiwing. I didnt like the way he was introduced. I much prefered the way the new dr was morphized from one dr to the next.
