Coincidence?

Yes, just coincidence. They did this movie about 1-2 years ago. And Matt Smith said that he will leave Doctor Who just a few months ago.

But greaaat coincidence =D

Pretty sure that is no coincidence, these things are usually planned a year ahead in order to prevent problems with the narration of the show.

They're going with a more mature Doctor, not sure how this will work in the new series o_0

An old(er) Doctor will be refreshing, I'll be interested how will he work out. (Some ppl think that he'll be a more mature/serious/darker Doctor than the previous ones.)

Moffat didn't appeal to the fangirl base of the series, and every show needs a refreshment from time to time. I for one welcome the new Doctor, and I'm fairly sure I'm not alone with this.

All girls are all like "A new older doctor, how is this gonna work?"... WELL, If you cared about the SHOW and not a MAN, then OF COURSE there are ways it would work out... But anyways, it's cool!

Ummm, was hoping they'd blow everyone's mind and hire Nicki Minaj....

Guess with an older doctor they'll feel the need to give the assistant an annoying boyfriend again.

Many people thaught the next Doctor will be a woman, in tonight's show they even mentioned it too.

He has a face for it :) I think he'll be fine :)
Though, on the other hand, I was all against Matt Smith at the beginning, but he ended up AWESOME! :) Not, David Tennant awesome, but really coool :)

Doctor Who died a long time ago. Now it's just marketed towards female teenagers and morons.

Twilight's marketed to the exact same demographic.

I really miss the Russell T. Davies era. I'm still waiting for the ginger doctor and the female doctor. The latter would be impossible with Moffat.

Ohh I get it. You saw

"World War Z - W.H.O. Doctor"

On his IMDB page and went with that. Clever.

I think at least strange with so many options to choose an actor who already appeared in two different characters in the franchise (pompeii episode and last torchwood series). BBC and Mofat had so many other options to go... Now let's wait and see how this will work.

Colin Baker (Six) was a villain in Arc of Infinity before he went on to play The Doctor, so it's not unprecedented.

But it is sloppy planning (even though I like both Baker and Capaldi). I don't think many people are disputing Capaldi himself (I adore him, and he's a massive DW fanboy), but they're worried about what nonsense Moffat & Co. are going to create.

So it's more writer-concern (which, considering the best episodes have been largely written by Chris Chibnall, Neil Gaiman and Gareth Roberts? is warranted) than actor-concern.

But it is fun to think that an Ancient Roman turned into a civil servant and then made his way into becoming a Time Lord.

PLOT TWIST:
The Doctor can only regenerate into a form he has already seen?
(Or being forced to, like the Troughton - Pertwee regeneration).

Maybe?
Would be cool.
