Shake it up, Mr. Lyon. Shake it up

I wasn't expecting him, but I am perfectly fine with Peter Capaldi as the Twelfth Doctor. He's not a chameleon, except insofar as he's shockingly young in Local Hero (1983) if you noticed him first in Torchwood (2009), but he's an actor I watch out for. The Angel Islington, John Frobisher, Danny Oldsen, Angus Flint, Malcolm Tucker, Randall Brown; I'll be very curious to see what he does with this role. Especially if it means I get to see him and John Hurt in scenes together.

Back before they cast Matt Smith as Eleven, there was talk of Patterson Joseph, and I would have been entirely behind that. Idris Elba would have been another great choice. Or, or, or . . . .

I read your comments on Capaldi above, and they give me reason to be interested. (I've seen him in too little before now to have an opinion one way or another.) Prior to reading that, however, my reaction could best be summed up as "eh."

Enitirely understood.
