Lovely, tongue-in-cheek description of the announcement: The Internet's Reaction to the Twelth Doctor (found via ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

As for the announcement itself, I am extremely happy with it. I wanted an older Doctor, and I got one. I wanted someone I'd actually heard of, and I got it. I don't remember him from anything other than DW and TW, but he impressed me greatly in those and I know I *have* seen him in some other things, and he seems to have a great range of acting which is of course something the Doctor absolutely needs. So very much looking forward to this, and seeing what Moffat can do with a new Doctor. :-)
(Ooh, first use of 'twelth doctor' tag!!!!)
