Peter Capaldi is Doctor Who...?

Cheesy as it is, I can't let this momentous news pass without comment - I actually squealed and clapped my hands together when I saw that Peter Capaldi is to be the new Doctor. As C said - 'I'm one hand-shake away from the Doctor!' As I quickly corrected him, he's actually one peck on the cheek away from the Doctor... The Doctor and I went to Glasgow School of Art, both doing illustration, and he was as interesting and charismatic back then as he still appears to be now. Lovely to see a proper big, goofy grin from him on the telly last night when it was announced - he must be chuffed to bits! Of course, cue a sleepless night for me, with full-blown mid-life crisis, thinking, 'Erk, one of my contemporaries is going to be THE DOCTOR....! What have I done with my life!!'

Until The Doctor can crochet a ripple blanket like you, I won't be impressed!

Hee hee! Perhaps that will be the Doctor's new look - crocheted ripple blanket over his shoulders!The neighbours reckon he's too old, anyway... Ouch!

He's a great choice, I'm looking forward to seeing him in the role. Brave casting too, in this youth-obsessed age. Apparently he's older than William Hartnell was!

Our friends next door think I'm personally responsible for this, and aren't happy because he's so verrrry old... It'll take some doing to beat my favourite, David Tennant - but I shall wait and see.
