The Tweltfth Docter Who Reveal

In a Doctor Who special last week it was announced that the twelfth incarnation of our favour screwdriver character will be played by Peter Capaldi.

Peter, aged 55, is perhaps best-known for his award winning performances as Malcolm Tucker in comedy show ‘The Thick of It’ and also the film ‘In the Loop’.  Although I remember him fondly as Sid’s dad, Mark Jenkins, in Skins – ‘EMPHASIS’.

Born in Glasgow, Peter has previously appeared in Doctor Who back in 2008, playing Carcilius in the episode ‘The Firsts of Pompeii’ and has also been a part of the sister series Torchwood.

Capaldi said, "Being asked to play The Doctor is an amazing privilege. Like the Doctor himself I find myself in a state of utter terror and delight."

We'll get our first glimpse of the new Doctor in this year's Christmas special, when the charismatic Matt Smith hangs up his bow-tie and sonic screwdriver for good.
