And (a secret insider tells us) we already have the name, it's Doctor Who's second Rory..... Rory Kinnear. A balding son of a well-loved chubby TV character actor, ideally suited to play corrupt politicians, and weak dodgy businessmen.
He is the new Doctor Who.
Don't make me laugh...
Best known for Charlie Brooker's "Black Mirror", where he played a Prime Minister who was forced to have sex with a pig.
I can see the headlines now... "Woooeeeoooo.... It's Dr Pigfucker".
"We don't know who the new Doctor is....we've just started casting..... we are at the beginning of the process" scream the BBC.
"No. You are lying".
If Steven Moffat doesn't exactly who the new Doctor is, I will eat my sonic screwdriver and its two alkaline AAs.
Matt Smith was cast at least a year in advance, and he is currently filming his final two episodes.
They've made a masterclass out of misleading us about his exit, presumably (and understandably) because they're sick to death of talking about it. But pretending they didn't know exactly when it would be?..... Do me a favour!
My guess is they knew years ago.
And now we're supposed to believe this ridiculous decoy information, designed to irritate and get tabloid coverage, with the usual ridiculous (I pray and trust) rumours. Somebody will be predicting the next Doctor is going to be Joanna Lumley long after she's left this mortal coil. She will need to regenerate herself to substantiate the rumours.
And so we are being played again.
For idiots.
For what it's worth, .. you can stick with John Hurt for me all the way up until there is a scene where he has to run ... then if the licence payer can't afford the CGI (after all, its not as it the BBC just threw away a hundred million quid on a failed IT project that The Moff could have been given for the 50th), then my money is on Daniel Rigby.
You won't catch either of those chaps on the wrong end of a farmyard animal anytime soon.
