To have developed a tiny tittle weeny, insy crush on Peter Capaldi?

[SamuelWestsMistress]

Not in the same way that I would want to do the most filthy and unspeakable kinky things with Matt Smith, or even bent over and pummelled until my eyes burst like with Philip Glenister. BUT perhaps more of a quiet secret thing for your mate's dad/university lecturer kind of way?

AIBU?

No, not at all

Well Pollydon, I'm glad I am not alone!

I've had one for years :)

Mmm. He's okay - but TOO OLD for me to think about him like that! Sorry

My DH is a big fan of "The Thick of it" I never got round to watching it until later when DH got it on DVD.

I watched the first one and then suddenly I was a fan. My DH thought I had at long last developed a sophisticated appreciation for political satire. All along I was motivated to watch by the shouty Malcolm Tucker scenes. That Capaldi - shouting - gives me the horn.

Dirty.

Now he is the Dr, I can combine my time travel dirty thoughts with Malcolm Tucker dirty thoughts.

Hahah!

I have to be honest, he is the only person I've ever heard make the word "cunt" sound quite nice.

He is the image of my ex-FIL, so I just could never see him in any kind of sexual light.

Christ no, I've fancied him since he was Uncle Rory in The Crow Road, and all the more since he was Malcolm Tucker. To be honest I'm worried him being Dr Who will make him less sexy

Ladies, I give you my 11 year-old DD who, upon me pointing out Capaldi on the front of yesterdays newspapers and saying he's the new Doctor, actually pulled a pervy face and made a pervy noise! She's 11! He's 55! He's 16 years older than me!

She also fancies Slash and declares both David Bowie and Kate Bush 'epic'.

Where have I gone right?

Not wrong at all - saw him described on Twitter today as looking like a "sexy angry eagle" which is SUPERB.

YANBU OP Ive had the university lecturer kind of crush on him since the first series of The Hour.

YA only BU in having a wee small crush on him. He's lovely.
PyroclasticFlo I love your name , have you watched Local Hero, he's really quite lovely in that too, although a wee bit wet.

YANBU at all.

Sexy, angry eagle
Love it.
Since I was quite small I've always kind of thought I should marry Dr Who so I'm really rather happy that Capaldi got it this time, I didn't really have it in me to relive the Colin Baker years again.

I was trying to explain to DH that it's the Doctor who is sexy, so the person playing him being sexy is just a bonus.

He is LUSH.

Well Said BrianButterfield!!

Hurrah! I know fine well I'm going to fancy his ass when he is The Doctor. DH and a fair few of my friends have already predicted it...BUT I won't let on. I'm going to hide it from them and just come on mumsnet instead. MWAHAHA!

Yes, that's it exactly Brian, even Slyvester McCoy got a wee luster of sex appeal playing the Doctor.

Yanbu.

I fully embrace not being ageist.

I have to say Sylvester McCoy has never been sexual in my eyes. But I didn't have tits and hormones back then, so this could be why? (Although Peter Davidson was my first love!)

SC wasn't full on lust like David Tennant but he did have a certain something, however that just might have been that he wasn't Colin Baker.
And Ace was undoubtly the coolest assistant ever,

Colin Baker terrified me!

During the reveal programme I had a full-scale rant about Colin Baker. Ugh.

I'm still sad about the waste that was Paul McGann's one outing as the Doctor. I think he could have been great (and hot).

Oh I know, I'm with you there! He was soooo handsome. I only saw the film for the first time about 5 years ago. It's a mystery why it wasn't more of a deal as its so good!
