The twelfth Doctor

I can honestly say that prior to the announcement on the BBC website I had never heard of him. I only know of one Capaldi and that's Jim of Traffic.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

He has been around for a while on TV, most recently in The Thick of It[^]. He was also being tipped all last week in The Telegraph.
Use the best guess
Richard, Unfortunately, I watch little TV and I never read The Torygraph! :)

You sound like a sensible person; that is, unless you read The Grauniad. ;)

The Grauniad? X| No. I've only bought two or three Sunday papers in the last two years and both were recent purchases to read the British Lions match reviews against the Ockers! The papers were the Sunday Times and then only because they have a good reputation for their sports coverage and especially (to me) their rugby coverage is very good. As for TV, I like the well-polished dramas and occasional documentary that Auntie produces but 90% of my viewing is the morning news when I'm scoffing porridge or getting ready to go to work. :)

Is Peter Capaldi.
I was brought up to respect my elders. I don't respect many people nowadays.

I'm starting to think he's got Alzheimer's and forgotten it.

Oh, don't go into the canon of whether the films count as Dr Who or not - if they do, then the assertion that this is the 12th incarnation is wrong (ignoring various Comic Relief versions, and also the Richard E Grant appearance as the Doctor).

It's more the fact that I would expect any discussion of the history of the show which includes Bernard Cribbins to mention his appearance in the film. You don't have to accept it as part of the canon to include it in the show's history!

Indeed they were, except for the fundamental canonical flaws. For instance, his surname is given as Who in the films - plus, he claims to be the inventor of TARDIS.

And yes, hearing Roy Castle say, "Hello, Dr Who!" still makes me want to hit him!

I checked his IMDB Filmography. In World War Z, he played a W.H.O. Doctor! Obviously a time loop.
Nice catch!
