The name of the actor who will replace David Tennant as Doctor Who will be announced on Saturday.

Tennant said in October that he would stand down from the show after filming four special episodes in 2009.

His replacement - the eleventh Doctor of the TV series - will be revealed in a Doctor Who Confidential programme on BBC One at 1735 on 3 January.

The casting was confirmed over Christmas and filming for the 2010 series begins in the summer.

Tennant is due to begin shooting the first of his four specials this month, just weeks after surgery on his back.

The last of these episodes is expected to run in early 2010.

Who are you betting on stemot? I'm hoping for Paterson Joseph. Looking increasingly likely it'll be Chiwetel Ejiofor though.

Yeah, it's looking likely it'll be that bloke from Serenity, who I think will do a good job, but I was hoping that all the rumours about Paterson were true.
 
I just hope its not somone whos already appeared, some of the suggestions people make are ridiculous.
 
Joseph has already appeared, and depending on how he plays it, could be the only person for me that can escape Tennant and Eccleston's shadow.
 
Patterson Joseph is brilliant. He'd be great. When did he appear before?

He was in the episode with the Dalek Emperor in series 1, he was the one who beat Rose at The Weakest Link.
 
Rodrick, yeah.

Even David Tennant appeared in the series before in several audio episodes.

ooo, didn't know that, then again, I've never listened to any of the audio stories.
 
I've only listened to a couple on iPlayer and the ones that come free with the Magazine and the Torchwood ones. It's something I may consider over this coming year considering the relative lack of Doctor Who otherwise.
 
If the next Doctor is black, you just know there'll be lots of people claiming it's a jump onto the Obama bandwagon.

Well, as much as I don't like to admit it (an actor obviously should be cast for talent rather than skin colour unless the part requires it), maybe it did sway the beebs decision a little.
 
Well... Brian Blessed has been in the series before. It could happen! There was a rumour about 3 months ago that BB was going to be in one of the specials.
 
Seriously I've never heard of him before and I think he's too young.

no pic but its got some stuff he's been in (not much)

To be fair I would equate this guy filling david tennant's shoes to the next person who'll play the joker. They may be good but they won't match the one before.
 
A relative unknown, but has always been in the running.

He's been in Ruby in the Smoke, Party Animals, Secret Diary of a Call Girl, The Street. He looks good.
 
I think he'll be a good 11, just because no-one knows him doesn't mean he hasn't got it in him.

Oh, and my Daughter In Law is devasted at how ugly he is and has vowed never to watch Who again :D
 
He kinda looks like a young version of the grim reaper in Bill and Ted. Its always a little odd when they pick somone, but I have faith it will be good, im quite glad Moffat is the head writer now.
 
I thought only 8 year old watched this show with their genuine lunchboxes and mugs. :|
But I've been proved wrong. :hmph:

Oh that's a tad mean! I think he's fairly good-looking. He's no David Tenant, certainly, but he's by no means an ugly man. A quirky aesthetic...

I thought it was plainly obvious that the new launch of DR Who had outgrown small minded crap like this.

Guess I've been proved wrong :rolleyes:

Dude is fugly, but he'll be good.
 
He looks fine, I don't watch Dr.Who too much but I'm glad they picked up someone who doesn't look like a total douchebag.
 
As a straight man, I don't think he's bad looking. And if that's his "look" as the Doctor, fantastic! Like a cross between 9 and 10.
 
I hope the clothing there is *somewhat* reflective of the persona of this new Doctor, though obviously not the finished creation that we'll see until he first appears. I couldn't stand the trench coat, Converse and generall wahey look at how crrrrraaaaazy a Doctor I am! style of Tennant.

I'm so glad he's gone.

Looking forward to seeing how this progresses.
 
I do think he's a bit young (still, it proves that the Doctor just gets younger every time he regenerates) but he should (hopefully) be good for the role. He's not great-looking but I see what Reg means when he says that he looks like a cross between 9 and 10. Anyway, so long as he's a good actor that's all that matters!
 
If we're lucky. The last two doctors kept the same style from start to finish didn't they?
Maybe we will get lucky and they realise how dumb it looks.
 
Looks like he'll be travelling through time trying to hustle for his next shot of H
 
I really need to start watching this.

Not that it looks bad in the first place, but those promo shots are not necessarily how he will be when he takes the role.
 
I miss Tenant already :(. This guy has some big boots to fill.
 
In the words of Fargo 'He was kind of funny lookin' 'Yah!!'
