I’m among those who aren’t terribly familiar with Peter Capaldi, the Scottish actor who will play the 12th iteration of the good Doctor. Like a lot of fans, I was hoping we might get someone other than a white male, but that may have to wait until showrunner Stephen Moffet hands over the reins to someone else. In the meantime, it will be refreshing to see an older actor in the role after watching a string of younger dudes bring varying levels of manic energy to their interpretations. Matt Smith had a great run, but his sudden shifts from mischievous hyperactivity to solemn speechifying could give me whiplash at times.

And perhaps we can get Armando Iannucci to pen an episode. I’d love to see the Doctor unleash an expletive-laden diatribe on some hapless alien bureaucrat.
