to be thoroughly overexcited - Dr Who related

I am completely over excited that the new Doctor is being announced live tonight? I have been waiting for Matt Smith to go for months, and now we get to find out who the new actor is!

According to the news before, there's only 10 people in the world who know who it is!

HOW has the BBC kept this a secret?

poppymagnum · 04/08/2013 18:05

Me too. I am desperately hoping it's Andrew Scott but I don't think it will be. DD will almost certainly pee herself if it is

QuietNinjaTardis · 04/08/2013 18:06

I'm excited too. Bet it's someone I've never heard of!

poppymagnum · 04/08/2013 18:07

I'm worried it's going to be a huge anti climax. Although I hear the Moff (yes that's what we call him in our house!) is going to be on the show.

EvieanneVolvic · 04/08/2013 18:08

I'm pretty sure it's Eddie Mair.

I am a tad concerned about what Moff will do as well! And I am shocked they have kept it so quiet! I hope it is someone older, perhaps better known and a bit more gravitas. I would like it to be Patterson Joseph or Peter Capaldi but I don't think it will be!

Eddie Mair's lovely but a tad portly for all that running about.

wibblyjelly · 04/08/2013 18:15

I think it may be a woman. They've never done a live unrevealing before...

Eddie Mair's lovely but a tad portly for all that running about.

Last time I saw him (last October) he was a lot slimmer. I think he was getting fit for the part. Paid off, obviously

If it's a woman I hope it is Gillian Anderson.

meditrina · 04/08/2013 18:19

Sorry, Tee, I posted slowly and my link is to the same (very active) thread.

Turniptwirl · 04/08/2013 18:23

I can't wait! I love Matt smith, he was my first doctor although I've now caught up with Christopher eccleston and David tennant in full and bits of the older drs too.

I'm still not over the ponds leaving sob

Tee2072 · 04/08/2013 18:28

They are doing it live because of the 50th anniversary. Don't get your hopes up that it's for any other reason.

Blueandwhitelover · 04/08/2013 18:54

I've just seen somewhere that it is Anthony Head-is that not true?

Tee2072 · 04/08/2013 19:01

No. It's not true. We have no idea yet who it will be.

poppymagnum · 04/08/2013 19:01

Enough with the whales already! !

I think he'll be very good. Give it all a bit of brains and fun.

Am I the only who's thinking he should be channeling a bit of Malcolm Tucker in his interpretation of this role? :o
