Peter Capaldi, The New DOCTOR!

Today, the BBC put out a live special called Doctor Who: The Next Doctor. The whole point of this half-an-hour show was to introduce the actor playing the twelfth incarnation of the famous time-lord to the world. And, the new doctor is...

"I had my phone on silent, so I missed the call", Capaldi on the moment he found out he was the Doctor!

BBC release trailer for Sherlock series 3.

Immediately after a repeat of The Reichenbach Fall, the finale of series 2 of BBC crime-drama, Sherlock earlier this evening, a small teaser trailer for the much-anticipated series 3. I'm going to cut to the chase and just say check it out, now!

Nice 'tache, John! I've just watched last series' finale under an hour ago, so my anticipation for the next season 3 is still fresh.

No precise air date for episode 1 of the series, "The Empty Hurst", has been mentioned yet, all we know is that it will be sometime later this year.

Trailer for Sunday's "Doctor Who Live: The Next Doctor" released.

At Midnight on August the 1st the BBC made an announcement concerning Doctor Who. Okay, it did turn out to be what we already knew about, but a little later the BBC released a trailer for the half-an-hour show on Sunday that will reveal the Twelfth Doctor. It's really not that much, but you can check it out below:

On Sunday, at 7PM ( UK time ), the twelfth doctor will be revealed to the world, the show will feature guests to do with the show, interviews and more...

The Twelfth Doctor to be revealed officially on live BBC broadcast on Sunday!

This Sunday at 7PM live on the BBC, the identity of the actor playing the twelfth incarnation of the Doctor will be revealed to the world. I'm very excited for this, so I'll be watching. Since I know other people will be feeling the same way about it, for America, the times are 11 AM PDT and 2 PM EDT.

It should be simple to work out what time it'll be in your area if you're out of the UK or US, just search for the time differences between where you are and the UK and you'll know. Although, I do suggest sticking to Twitter, since it'll be mentioned a lot as it happens on there.

Host of the special, Zoe Ball, will be joined by head writer Steven Moffat; 11th Doctor, Matt Smith and the actor ( or possibly actress ) set to portray the next Doctor.

I'm very, very excited for this and also impressed that the BBC have managed to keep this information under wraps until now, and I hope it can stay that way until the big moment on sunday.

There's also said to be some sort of announcement at 12 midnight tonight ( UK time ), but it's suspected it'll just be what I've written about here in this post.

Matt Smith quits Doctor Who

The BBC had some big Doctor Who news that they apparently gave to a few news sites to release later today, some of which were the Mail and the Sunday express it seems. It was thought we'd be getting this big news at midnight but it's out now...

Now, I could've named this post "OH GOD NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" but that's not too professional. Smith is the actor who really made me love Doctor Who, and, in my opinion, he's the best of all the doctors. Good luck to him in his next projects, but he will be missed on the show.
