The bookies called it. Or at least their punters did.
And it was written in the stars. Or at least, on the same webpage as some stars.
Peter Capaldi is the next Doctor. That’s official. It’s also official that he’s the twelfth, but I can count and I make it thirteen, so something doesn’t add up.
Including the fact that he already had a major role in Who continuity in The Fires Of Pompeii and also in Torchwood, and that he’s signed up for the BBC’s upcoming Musketeers show.
Expect days worth of jokes about the Doctor being a Malcolm Tucker-style creative swearing machine. Okay, not days. Years.
