A live broadcast hosted by Zoe Ball this Sunday will reveal the actor who will portray the twelfth incarnation of the Gallifreyan Time Lord known across space and time as simply The Doctor. Showrunner Steven Moffat and eleventh Doctor Matt Smith will be joining Ball on the special–along with whoever’s going to be playing the new Doctor.

The announcement is scheduled to air at 7pm, Sunday August 4th in the UK….and 11am PDT and 2pm EDT in the States.

Given the writing staff, it will likely be a black homosexual. Since David Tenant left, the show has become almost unwatchable, which is a shame because Matt is a very talented Doctor. But the writers have decided that Dr Who is to be used to indoctrinate viewers in homo-tolerance, and moose slime relevancy.

They dumped him three years ago.

Armie Hammer? Grandson of socialist Armand Hammer? (Yes, those are real names)

The way that London is going, by the time that they get to #13, it won't be The Doctor, it will be the Mahdī - the final Imām of the Shi'a 'Twelvers'! Wonder if we will be rooting for the Master or Daleks in that case.

[Hoffer Rand]

LOL. Yeah, I was sorry to see Tennant go, too. Smith has been growing on me, but it’s not the same.

Interesting collection of possibilities on TVGuide.com.

Doctor Who: Who Should Be the Next Doctor?

They also list some pro's and con's for each possibility. [I mentioned Andrew Potts, the person in the last photo, when I first heard Matt Smith was leaving.]

[MNDude]

There can only be 12 Doctors. Right?

I thought this was going to be about The Doctors, a show I have never watched, but that I think more highly of than Doctor Who.

Make it stop. Please.

[TomGuy]

I think they should introduce ANOTHER Time Lord who is a woman, so that his species is not all dead.

They sort of did with River -- who was/will be married to The Doctor. Didn't one episode make a vague reference to a child of the two?

[Tax-chick]

Maybe that was three years ago where you live, but here, it’s still the future.

They’re apparently dumping Matt Smith.

Smith gave some indications last year that he was tiring of the roll. It wasn't until this year that he made the announcement. I never heard any rumors that he was being forced out.

Smith was named the replacement for Tennant in early 2009. IIRC, he will have been The Doctor for 4 seasons and Tennant was for 5 seasons.

[VRW Conspirator]

Exterminate!

[Hoffer Rand]

I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to imply Smith was being forced out, just that he appears to be leaving the show. I hadn’t heard that he was asking to leave, but I don’t follow these things.

[bk1000]

Exactly why I stopped watching. It became very transparently agenda driven and I could not stomach it. And I watched since Tom Baker was the Dr.

[GeronL]

I didn’t recall that one.

[zeugma]

My guess is it will be a black guy

Which would once again mean that he wasn't ginger.

The same gaggle of homos ruined another sci fi series, Torchwood. The ‘star’ of that series was brought from a homo tolerance episode of Dr Who where the Doctor ‘rescues’ Captain Jack. Cpt Jack turns out to be a raving homo/bi-sexual degenerate and is fully ‘explored’ in Torchwood.
