The show aired on the afternoon of the 5th of August. Sadly, I did however, miss it as I am currently on my holidays. The show announced 55 year old Peter Capaldi as the twelfth doctor. Still not ginger.
Capaldi has previously been in the programme itself in the Tennant era. He portrayed the father in 'Fires of Pompeii'. Steven Moffat said that he was "The first choice of a short list". Capaldi looks a promising doctor and the reactions of the audience were good. We wish Peter Capaldi good luck, as does Matt Smith, who said so on the programme himself.
