Press release:

Doctor Who Live: The Next Doctor

In a special one-off live television event on BBC One this Sunday 4th August at 7pm, the next Doctor will be exclusively revealed to the nation.

Widely regarded as one of the most hotly contested roles in British television, the show's host Zoe Ball will unveil the 12th Doctor in the first ever interview in front of a live studio audience set against the backdrop of a swirling vortex, amongst Daleks and the TARDIS.

The half hour show will include live special guests, Doctors old and new, as well as companions and celebrity fans.

Excitement will reach fever pitch as they speculate and recall their favourites, plus feature clips and moments from across the show's 50 year history.

Current Doctor Matt Smith and lead writer and executive producer Steven Moffat will both give interviews about one of the biggest roles in TV and set out just what it takes to be the Doctor.

Steven Moffat says: “The decision is made and the time has come to reveal who’s taking over the TARDIS. For the last of the Time Lords, the clock is striking twelve.”

Charlotte Moore, Controller BBC One says: “BBC One is the home of big live events and this special live show is the perfect way to reveal the identity of the next Doctor and share it with the nation. The Doctor is a truly iconic role and I’m more than excited about the booking.”

Ben Stephenson, Controller, BBC Drama Commissioning says: “We can't wait to unveil the next Doctor with everyone live on BBC1 on Sunday night. Amongst all the speculation and betting, there has been lots of fun and intrigue at work as we've been using the codename Houdini as a decoy! It’s the biggest secret in showbiz, even those working with the new Doctor on other projects at the moment have no idea they are in the presence of the 12th incarnation.”

Keep up to date with all the latest news about the show and special guests as we build to the big climax over the next few days and follow www.facebook.com/BBCOne, @ BBCOne and @bbcdoctorwho and bbc.co.uk/doctorwho

The special live show is made by BBC Entertainment and Events for BBC One, Guy Freeman is Executive producer and Pinki Chambers is Executive Commissioning Editor. Commissioned by Charlotte Moore, Controller BBC One.

The show will be simulcast live on BBC America. Doctor Who is produced by BBC Cymru Wales.

This time tomorrow, we'll know. Discuss the programme here :).

Do we discuss the BB and CBB launches in the start date or contract renewal threads? No, because it 'bloody' isn't.

[Samm]

[Ramsay]

ha ha he's such a dildo

[Shaun]

gonna be disappointing hearing him not swearing all the time... but he's a brilliant actor so I may actually watch this series :pipe:

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

ew hes old

[Kate!]

Mixed feelings tbh.... I'll reserve judgement till I see him in the role. Instant reaction was disappointment, wanted Ben Whishaw.

[AnnieK]

http://i3.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article2117005.ece/ALTERNATES/s927b/Peter-Capaldi-2117005.jpg

Now this is what The Doctor should look like

[Black Dagger]

Mixed feelings tbh.... I'll reserve judgement till I see him in the role. Instant reaction was disappointment, wanted Ben Whishaw.

That is who I wanted when I saw all the rumours as well lolol.

But I love Peter Capaldi so I'm not disappointed.

Might go and watch some of The Thick Of It in bed now.

[Tom4784]

Brilliant choice, I kind of feel he'll be a one and done type of Doctor though.

[Scarlett.]

Mixed feelings tbh.... I'll reserve judgement till I see him in the role. Instant reaction was disappointment, wanted Ben Whishaw.

Ben would have probably ended up being just like a mix of 10/11, Peter will bring a new side to the role.

[Joelle.]

Great choice :love:

As much as Ben Whishaw would be an amazing doctor he fits the same profile as Matt (young and quirky) so I'm happy with Peter. Maybe Ben as the 13th Doctor... Who knows.

[Scarlett.]

I love how his imdb says he played a W.H.O. Doctor in World War Z... lol.

[Kate!]

Amazing how he wrote a fan letter aged 15 and now he's in his dream role. Looking forward to seeing him taking it on and what he brings to it.

[Jamie.]

Peter Capaldi, OMG!! So happy, he's done Torchwood and Doc Who in the past, he is epic. Excited!

[Glenn.]

:amazed:

I'm really happy with the choice.

[Ramsay]

[Sticks]

Not happy

The press was saying that Mr Capaldi was the bookies choice, given that the BBC bangs on a lot about secrecy and security, how did people cotton on to Capaldi to make him bookies favourite. I suspect there to be a leak at the BBC :naughty:

On a side point when getting people's reaction before the reveal, Jenna Louise-Colmane's comment is interesting, here at 04:03

yqbklg4UwEs

She wants the new doctor to be "best friends with Clara".

Does that mean that Jenna is wondering of the writing is on the wall regarding her time on the show, after all the "soft mystery" regarding Clara has been resolved, so does she have a future now?

[Scarlett.]

You know what I'm looking forward to?

The end of "Wibbly Wobbly timey wimey", "I wear a ___ now, ____ are cool" and the obsession with god damned bowties.

[Marsh.]

This.

Bring on the mature Doctor.

Hopefully the show will loose those irritating little tweenies who bang on about who's sexiest between Tennant and Smith.

Capaldi will be great. No doubt as soon as he appears at the end of the Christmas Special youtube will be overran with Thick of It mashups of him swearing after regeneration. :D
