00:00:00,632 --> 00:00:06,620
repetitive flashing images.
After 50 years and 798 episodes,
2
00:00:06,660 --> 00:00:14,932
Doctor Who is the longest-running science
fiction series in the world.
3
00:00:14,972 --> 00:00:19,088
Born on the planet Galifray... old are
you then, 45? 903 years old.
4
00:00:19,128 --> 00:00:24,572
The Doctor travels in time and space
in his tardis. The man with the
5
00:00:24,612 --> 00:00:30,200
sonic screwdriver and two hearts has been
assisted by over 40 companions.
6
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:36,368
And in his fight for good over evil, he saved
the universe from deadly
7
00:00:36,408 --> 00:00:43,136
enemies, none more so than... Dalek.
You will be punished.
8
00:00:43,176 --> 00:00:48,056
Exterminate. Destroy them.
Exterminate. Regeneration is the
9
00:00:48,096 --> 00:00:55,088
secret of his eternal youth. Since 1963,
there have been 11 Doctors.
10
00:00:55,128 --> 00:01:05,088
Call me the Doctor. Doctor. Doctor.
Doctor. And tonight,
we reveal the
11
00:01:52,488 --> 00:01:57,056
Citizens of the universe,
please APPLAUSE
12
00:01:57,096 --> 00:02:02,008
Woo-what! Good evening and welcome
to a very, very special show.
13
00:02:02,048 --> 00:02:06,104
Tonight, live, the BBC around the world,
we are going to exclusively
14
00:02:06,144 --> 00:02:10,384
reveal the identity of the brand-new Doctor.
To share the excitement,
15
00:02:10,424 --> 00:02:15,228
I'll be joined by a host of celebrity fans,
plus some familiar
16
00:02:15,268 --> 00:02:18,820
faces from the TV series. Now, Doctor Who
has the best fans in the
17
00:02:18,860 --> 00:02:23,848
galaxy, I think you will agree,
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
18
00:02:23,888 --> 00:02:28,352
We have plenty of them in the audience. Feast your eyes on these,
19
00:02:28,392 --> 00:02:38,352
ladies and gentlemen! They'll feel
at home surrounded by
20
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,492
the space time vortex here
and the It's huge.
21
00:02:44,532 --> 00:02:49,132
And since we are live, you can send us
your thoughts throughout the show
22
00:02:49,172 --> 00:02:54,276
on Facebook, Twitter and join the conversation
on the BBC Doctor Who
23
00:02:54,316 --> 00:03:02,460
website. So, it was Saturday 1st June
that the dramatic news first
24
00:03:02,500 --> 00:03:07,600
broke. Now, the actor,
Matt Smith, is to
25
00:03:07,640 --> 00:03:11,820
leave Doctor Who after four years
in the role. The 11th Doctor will bow
26
00:03:11,860 --> 00:03:15,368
out at this year's Christmas special.
The story made the news
27
00:03:15,408 --> 00:03:19,928
head Lymes and speculation has been
rife about the identity of his
28
00:03:19,968 --> 00:03:25,772
successor. We'll have an exclusive
interview with Matt later on. So,
29
00:03:25,812 --> 00:03:30,508
who is the next Doctor? Well, not long
until we find out who has
30
00:03:30,548 --> 00:03:35,788
bagged the little blue box.
The tension is unbelievable. Right now,
31
00:03:35,828 --> 00:03:45,788
we have three people who're well
acquainted with the Searle series.
32
00:03:45,984 --> 00:03:52,728
Welcome Liza Tarbuck, Daniel Roche
and the fifth Doctor himself, Peter
33
00:03:52,768 --> 00:03:59,928
Davison. Hello, chaps. Hello.
This is all very, very exciting, isn't
34
00:03:59,968 --> 00:04:06,760
it? Extraordinary. Can I just ask you
this first question, at this
35
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:13,052
moment in time, none of you know
who the next Doctor is? Absolutely not.
36
00:04:13,092 --> 00:04:16,680
Peter? Honestly.Peter, you played
the fifth incarnation of the Doctor
37
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:21,100
in a programme that's become
a worldwide phenomenon. People say
38
00:04:21,140 --> 00:04:29,332
it's the best job in television.
Is that true? In a way it's the longest
39
00:04:29,372 --> 00:04:33,536
job in television because you could say
it's wonderful because it's a
40
00:04:33,576 --> 00:04:37,224
whirlwind time while you are doing
it but continues. I'm still here
41
00:04:37,264 --> 00:04:41,600
today, the fifth Doctor. It's fantastic.
There's quite a few
42
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:48,364
people dressed up like you, have you noticed?
There are a lot of people
43
00:04:48,404 --> 00:04:51,740
dressed as all sorts of people!
Very worrying. There's a Dalek. She needs
44
00:04:51,780 --> 00:04:58,320
help later on. Another lovely connection
with you and Doctor Who,
45
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:03,272
isn't there? A family one? Yes,
I'm the patriarch of a dynasty. I've
46
00:05:03,312 --> 00:05:07,096
started a dynasty as my daughter's married
to David Tennant. She played
47
00:05:07,136 --> 00:05:12,600
his daughter then married him? I was
giving the father of the bride
48
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:19,128
speech it became very confusing!
Brilliant. Liza, you are a huge fan.
49
00:05:19,168 --> 00:05:22,648
Why do you think it's so successful?
I think it's a sort of marker for
50
00:05:22,688 --> 00:05:26,836
television generally. I think
it allowed us to sit and watch
51
00:05:26,876 --> 00:05:31,864
television with our family or in fact
sneak a look at it when you
52
00:05:31,904 --> 00:05:38,004
weren't meant to and consequently scare
the living daylights out of
53
00:05:38,044 --> 00:05:42,380
yourselves. I'm still scared of
the yeti. There was something for
54
00:05:42,420 --> 00:05:48,208
everyone. Everyone's got a window
to a particular Doctor that does a
55
00:05:48,248 --> 00:05:51,848
particular thing for you. It was great
telly. Yes.It's good to be
56
00:05:51,888 --> 00:05:56,584
scared as well. Daniel, very excited
about you being on the show tonight.
57
00:05:56,624 --> 00:06:02,240
Hello! When did you first start watching?
What is your first memory
58
00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:05,396
of Doctor Who? Well, the classics
were recommended to me by my mum
59
00:06:05,436 --> 00:06:08,680
because she watched them with
her brother when she was younger. I
60
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,756
tuned into the first episode on
a Saturday night not knowing what it
61
00:06:12,796 --> 00:06:17,552
was and I loved it so much. It was
just so different to everything
62
00:06:17,592 --> 00:06:23,504
else. I just started watching it
from then on and I've watched every
63
00:06:23,544 --> 00:06:27,724
episode since. Who was that Doctor?
Christopher Eccleston. Do you ever
64
00:06:27,764 --> 00:06:33,680
fancy yourself as a companion?
They ever decide to bring a child
65
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:39,424
in, yes. Call Steven Moffat immediately!
Who is your Doctor and
66
00:06:39,464 --> 00:06:45,768
who is your favourite, if it's possible
to choose a favourite? Your
67
00:06:45,808 --> 00:06:53,348
favourite, Liza, and why? John Pertwee.
With deference to the fifth
68
00:06:53,388 --> 00:06:56,472
one. Absolutely right.But I'd have
to have a hefty side order of Chris
69
00:06:56,512 --> 00:07:03,940
Ecc because without somebody that good
to reproduce Russell's work
70
00:07:03,980 --> 00:07:10,160
then, we can't have what we have got now.
Russell TV Davies, genius? Yes.
71
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,376
Daniel, your favourite Doctor and why?
David Tennant, he was the one
72
00:07:13,416 --> 00:07:18,064
lasting - because I've only been
around not that long since the start
73
00:07:18,104 --> 00:07:23,316
of it so - yes, he's been around
during the majority of the time I've
74
00:07:23,356 --> 00:07:27,848
been watching it so he's the one
I have the most memories of. Plus, he
75
00:07:27,888 --> 00:07:32,348
had this unique thing to him. Some are
dark and cookie and he had this
76
00:07:32,388 --> 00:07:37,720
fantastic mix of the two which I loved.
Perfect. Peter? Your
77
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:43,096
favourite? I suppose that would have
to be Patrick Trouton. He had the
78
00:07:43,136 --> 00:07:47,832
most difficult job. He was the first
regeneration and nobody had any idea
79
00:07:47,872 --> 00:07:52,192
about another actor playing the Doctor
at that time. I watched the
80
00:07:52,232 --> 00:07:56,440
first episode with apprehension and
I was won over. In a a way, he was
81
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:02,768
my favourite. I have to say, you are
my favourite, but I say that to all
82
00:08:02,808 --> 00:08:04,376
the Time Lords! Big round of
applause to our guests!
83
00:08:04,416 --> 00:08:07,676
APPLAUSE Now, earlier
on this week, we caught
84
00:08:07,716 --> 00:08:12,628
up with the current Doctor, Matt Smith,
as he talked about his time
85
00:08:12,668 --> 00:08:18,160
in the tardis. By the look of it,
his time in the barbers too. I've
86
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:28,160
loved it. I really have. I'll miss it.
But when you got that go, you
87
00:08:36,744 --> 00:08:44,344
gotta go. There was a backlash when I was
88
00:08:44,384 --> 00:08:50,472
cast. I was 26 and I was unknown
and people went, that is not Doctor Who.
89
00:08:50,512 --> 00:08:53,608
Blimey. I'm a gull. I always knew
I wanted it to be quite physical and I
90
00:08:53,648 --> 00:08:57,752
wanted the comedy to be quite physical
and I knew I wanted him to
91
00:08:57,792 --> 00:09:03,500
feel very clever, but at the same time
to not understand the human
92
00:09:03,540 --> 00:09:09,924
race. Has anyone told you you are
a bit weird? They never a really stop.
93
00:09:09,964 --> 00:09:17,048
In the first edition I wore a tweed
blazer and put a bow tie on and the
94
00:09:17,088 --> 00:09:21,888
cast went "oh, no... " and then
they were like "maybe". Bow ties are
95
00:09:21,928 --> 00:09:31,888
cool. It dawns on you that you are
actually going to have to do it
96
00:09:31,976 --> 00:09:38,564
slowly. I loved it at first. I loved it.
I wore a fez. I wear a fez now.
97
00:09:38,604 --> 00:09:45,876
Fezzes are cool. I miss playing
a character that can bounce from A-Z
98
00:09:45,916 --> 00:09:51,452
like that and that is the clever
nest the room. Stoatsons are cool.
99
00:09:51,492 --> 00:09:55,800
Just being the Doctor, thieves Doctor,
you know -- Stetson. What a
100
00:09:55,840 --> 00:10:01,656
character. There's always a part
of you that goes, I never want to go.
101
00:10:01,696 --> 00:10:05,984
There are no parts like this. I think
it's a good time for me to
102
00:10:06,024 --> 00:10:11,500
move on and we've got the 50th anniversary.
It's the biggest year
103
00:10:11,540 --> 00:10:18,888
in the show's history and I'm playing
the part and I pass it on
104
00:10:18,928 --> 00:10:26,248
with a smile to the next guy and
I say good luck, buddy. You are going
105
00:10:26,288 --> 00:10:32,688
to have to work hard. I know who they are.
If I had to pick someone,
106
00:10:32,728 --> 00:10:37,064
I'd pick him cos I think he's great.
Weirdly enough, after the 11th hour,
107
00:10:37,104 --> 00:10:40,140
he came up to me in the street and said,
mate, well done, I watched
108
00:10:40,180 --> 00:10:46,188
your episode last night, it was brill yap,
I think you are really
109
00:10:46,228 --> 00:10:50,652
good. And I really needed that boost.
I never forgot it.
110
00:10:50,692 --> 00:11:00,652
Who the man? I'm excited because
I know what's coming and he's going to
111
00:11:01,276 --> 00:11:06,920
Coming out of the regeneration,
you networks it wasn't massively
112
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:14,184
painful, just very exciting and that
whammo, going into it probably is a
113
00:11:14,224 --> 00:11:24,184
bit more painful, yeah. It's time.
114
00:11:48,008 --> 00:11:53,496
Goodbye, Doctor. Legs, yes. Bow tie,
Doctor's dance, but I would quite
115
00:11:53,536 --> 00:11:59,136
like to get it in the Christmas Special.
One last hurrah of the
116
00:11:59,176 --> 00:12:02,776
drunk giraffe. It's been great, man,
you know, it's a really cool job. It
117
00:12:02,816 --> 00:12:09,232
'ed be hard to top. APPLAUSE
118
00:12:09,272 --> 00:12:16,416
Yes, he has a hair cut now.
Matt Smith there revealing a real mixture
119
00:12:16,456 --> 00:12:21,572
of sadness and being emotional.
He's in LA at the moment. I'm sure we all
120
00:12:21,612 --> 00:12:27,312
agree he's brilliant and
will be very much missed.
121
00:12:27,352 --> 00:12:31,748
Now, did my massive ears deceive me
or did I hear Matt using the word
122
00:12:31,788 --> 00:12:36,044
"he" and him. Could be awkward
if the next Doctor turns out to be a
123
00:12:36,084 --> 00:12:40,200
woman. It might happen one day,
you never know. Could be. All will be
124
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:45,544
revealed very, very soon, as
the next Doctor has entered the
125
00:12:45,584 --> 00:12:49,308
building, ladies and gentlemen.
The next Doctor is in this building!
126
00:12:49,348 --> 00:12:52,856
I'm so scared I'm going to say
the wrong thing. We are live and it
127
00:12:52,896 --> 00:12:56,952
seems the whole world is watching.
Thank you for the messages, the
128
00:12:56,992 --> 00:12:59,872
Internet is melting at the moment.
It's fair to say Doctor Who's come
129
00:12:59,912 --> 00:13:03,796
up with ingenius ideas over the years
but nothing beats the fact
130
00:13:03,836 --> 00:13:08,168
that the leading man can change
his appearance. It's a process, if you
131
00:13:08,208 --> 00:13:13,528
didn't know, called regeneration,
which means when the Doctor dies,
132
00:13:13,568 --> 00:13:20,852
his body rejuvenates and he comes back
to life with a new look and
133
00:13:20,892 --> 00:13:25,696
different personality. Brilliant.
From William Hartnell to Matt Smith,
134
00:13:25,736 --> 00:13:32,872
the Doctor has been played by lots
of different Doctors and the 12th
135
00:13:32,912 --> 00:13:37,384
Doctor has some big shoes to fill.
The Doctor is an eccentric Lee row,
136
00:13:37,424 --> 00:13:40,824
a time-travelling meddler who says
he never meddles. He's handled
137
00:13:40,864 --> 00:13:46,076
everything at once. He's old, young,
could be your grandfather, brother.
138
00:13:46,116 --> 00:13:52,008
I would describe him as the lone Ranger.
A force for good, a force
139
00:13:52,048 --> 00:14:01,920
for fairness and generally has
a psychic. Susan and I are cut off
140
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:06,384
from our own planets. Hearts knell
was the wise old gent. He was a
141
00:14:06,424 --> 00:14:11,416
soldier and he was a Doctor.
Nice to see you so well again. Told
142
00:14:11,456 --> 00:14:16,136
everybody with what was what and
how to do it. Regeneration is such a
143
00:14:16,176 --> 00:14:20,776
clever idea. It's a part that
12 different actors will and have
144
00:14:20,816 --> 00:14:28,336
played. This has never been done before
and we had no idea if it was
145
00:14:28,376 --> 00:14:34,792
ever going to be accepted. Patrick Truouton
did our job. We all loved
146
00:14:34,832 --> 00:14:38,792
him. He was like the teenager
really in an older body. He was a bit
147
00:14:38,832 --> 00:14:45,356
eccentric playing his little flute.
My Doctor, Peter Davison, was more
148
00:14:45,396 --> 00:14:55,356
man of action. Run.
Ath Had previously been the case. Bit glam
149
00:14:55,864 --> 00:15:04,120
actually. Bit handsome. Big scarf.
Crazy. Jiem going to whisper this,
150
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:10,212
but I think Tom Baker will always
be THE Doctor. You may be A Doctor, but
151
00:15:10,252 --> 00:15:15,540
I'm THE Doctor. If you say Doctor Who,
in a free association game,
152
00:15:15,580 --> 00:15:21,524
it's Tom Baker, everybody has
their first Doctor. There is a quirkiness
153
00:15:21,564 --> 00:15:27,560
which I find unsettling.
John's Doctor was flamboyant. He was dandy.
154
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:32,976
A maverick. Stern. The weapons
are nasty, enough as it is. Give the
155
00:15:33,016 --> 00:15:41,464
cloak a flourish, darling.
Colin had his flock coat with clown-like
156
00:15:41,504 --> 00:15:46,464
colours. You are not serious.
always am. I described what
157
00:15:46,504 --> 00:15:50,976
Christopher Eccleston got.
When Christopher walked out of the
158
00:15:51,016 --> 00:15:56,432
tardis, I went yes. He was so good,
dark and modern. Why don't you just
159
00:15:56,472 --> 00:16:02,996
die... You would make a good Dalek.
I've
160
00:16:03,036 --> 00:16:06,976
always had a soft spot for Sylvester McCoy.
I thought of him a bill like
161
00:16:07,016 --> 00:16:12,256
Peter Colombo. Scatter brained
but working it all out underneath.
162
00:16:12,296 --> 00:16:20,352
the most beautiful of all the Doctors.
Drop dead gorgeous. He was
163
00:16:20,392 --> 00:16:25,352
a kind of a loss of a Doctor.
going to betray Patrick because
164
00:16:25,392 --> 00:16:30,976
David Tennant was my favourite. very
on top of things is David.
165
00:16:31,016 --> 00:16:38,024
very good at opening doors. He's very
in command. There's something
166
00:16:38,064 --> 00:16:43,976
about Matt Smith. He had the charm
of an hyperactive puppy.
167
00:16:44,016 --> 00:16:49,148
physicality was so extraordinary.
He's so e lastic. Amazing. Pf
168
00:16:49,188 --> 00:16:52,320
I've got to be in the show
when we are celebrating its 50th year and
169
00:16:52,360 --> 00:17:02,320
it's wonderful to be part
of something that so many people are
170
00:17:12,576 --> 00:17:16,692
talking about and love on the so history.
What does the future hold?
171
00:17:16,732 --> 00:17:26,692
We are soon to find out. Here to share
their love of the show, I'm
172
00:17:28,564 --> 00:17:31,692
delighted to welcome
Bernard Nice T-shirt!
173
00:17:31,732 --> 00:17:36,384
It does seem fitting, Bernard,
that you are here, because your
174
00:17:36,424 --> 00:17:40,240
character, Wilf, Donna's grandad,
caused the regeneration of the last
175
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,864
regeneration of the Doctors.
If you are going to be rude, I'm going to
176
00:17:44,904 --> 00:17:50,196
leave. Do you feel guilty about that?
No, because my character was
177
00:17:50,236 --> 00:17:55,024
being kind to someone else trapped,
so he went in and therefore he was
178
00:17:55,064 --> 00:17:59,332
trap and David made the supreme
sacrifice and released me and he
179
00:17:59,372 --> 00:18:02,788
then got clobbered. Bernard came
to my dressing room earlier to say
180
00:18:02,828 --> 00:18:12,788
hello and knocked three times
on the door and I thought I was going to
181
00:18:12,968 --> 00:18:19,960
die! Isn't it four? It was four, yes.
Oh, no! Four, four... I got it
182
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:25,836
wrong again! Bernard, would you ever
fancy playing the Doctor? I had an
183
00:18:25,876 --> 00:18:30,992
interview when John Pertwee
was leaving and I saw the producer, he
184
00:18:31,032 --> 00:18:36,364
said hello and I said hello and he said
what can you do and I said I'm
185
00:18:36,404 --> 00:18:40,144
a good swummer, fine, yes, I said
I was a paratrooper and I could fight
186
00:18:40,184 --> 00:18:45,048
and he said a Doctor never fights,
anyway I never saw the job and first
187
00:18:45,088 --> 00:18:50,400
thing I saw Tom Baker do was clobber
somebody. Typical. Rufus, you are a
188
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:56,972
hard core fan. After saying knock
three times though, I want to shoot
189
00:18:57,012 --> 00:19:00,224
myself in the head. When did you
start watching the show? Ie jiem of
190
00:19:00,264 --> 00:19:06,960
the generation -- I'm of the generation
that was old enough to
191
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:15,632
start watching it early on but
only started watching it with David
192
00:19:15,672 --> 00:19:23,912
Eccleston... Christopher Equitable tonne!
He's just excited. As we all
193
00:19:23,952 --> 00:19:29,756
are. Honestly, I promise you I've been
sitting in the cargoing, don't
194
00:19:29,796 --> 00:19:36,424
get the facts wrong. I'm absolutely
dying inside.. What makes Doctor
195
00:19:36,464 --> 00:19:44,456
Who so special Rufus, redeem yourself?
Sci-fi allows you to look
196
00:19:44,496 --> 00:19:47,680
at really human problems but with
a degree of distance from it. The
197
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:52,116
Doctor is automobile to talk to us
about life, death, meaning, what it
198
00:19:52,156 --> 00:19:56,408
is to be a child, what it is
to grow old and be different. We are
199
00:19:56,448 --> 00:19:59,756
automobile to understand the stories
in a way that seems fantastic but is
200
00:19:59,796 --> 00:20:04,440
able to define those things that
are true of the human experience.
201
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,768
was beautiful. And I think that
that's the power of the show. What's
202
00:20:07,808 --> 00:20:13,268
more powerful about Doctor Who
than any other sci-fi show is that it's
203
00:20:13,308 --> 00:20:19,680
British. Yes.So we have this...
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
204
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:25,568
Brilliant, brilliant. We have
this uniqueness there. The voice of the
205
00:20:25,608 --> 00:20:29,300
Wombles, the adverts and
the Railway Children, this year, Bernard
206
00:20:29,340 --> 00:20:34,520
Cribbins celebrates
70 years in showbiz.
207
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,520
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Give it up
for Bernard Cribbins and
208
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:42,456
Rufus Hound. We are now
getting closer to the
209
00:20:42,496 --> 00:20:47,328
moment of truth. Here is one man
who knows who's who, not least because
210
00:20:47,368 --> 00:20:57,328
he made the decision. It's
the executive producer, head writer and
211
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,192
guardian angel, see even Moffat.
Every day in the day Matt will do
212
00:21:01,232 --> 00:21:05,348
something so bold and clever that
I went see it coming and I'll miss
213
00:21:05,388 --> 00:21:12,016
that brilliance and that invention.
I'm a mad man with a box. The Doctor
214
00:21:12,056 --> 00:21:16,192
is an icon. People are hugely
invested in who the new Doctor is.
215
00:21:16,232 --> 00:21:24,408
Everybody is speculating. It's fun.
It's like electing the next Prime
216
00:21:24,448 --> 00:21:31,112
Minister. It could be a disaster.
Harry Sty level s. Oddly enough,
217
00:21:31,152 --> 00:21:35,532
most occasions on Doctor Who,
it hasn't happened that way -- Harry
218
00:21:35,572 --> 00:21:39,800
Styles. We all had the same idea
and it was a quite different idea so we
219
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:44,848
got our notional number 12 round
to my house and made a home video of
220
00:21:44,888 --> 00:21:48,644
that person being the Doctor
and showed it around, showed the people
221
00:21:48,684 --> 00:21:55,016
who need to be in on that decision
because it's like appointing the
222
00:21:55,056 --> 00:21:59,924
President or something. Everyone
just said well yes, that's the
223
00:21:59,964 --> 00:22:07,408
Doctor. It would be interesting
to see an established actor. Someone
224
00:22:07,448 --> 00:22:11,424
with gravitas. The Doctor has
to be British. James Bond or Sherlock
225
00:22:11,464 --> 00:22:15,532
Holmes. There comes a right time
for the right person to play it. Oddly
226
00:22:15,572 --> 00:22:20,656
enough, this person briefly flicked
through my mind last time and I
227
00:22:20,696 --> 00:22:28,548
didn't think they were right
and this time, just wow, that moment has
228
00:22:28,588 --> 00:22:33,784
arrived. I would love some sort of
twist that we are not expecting.
229
00:22:33,824 --> 00:22:37,752
would be amazing if the next Doctor
was a woman with a male assistant.
230
00:22:37,792 --> 00:22:40,564
Time Lords can change gender so
it's completely not against the rules as
231
00:22:40,604 --> 00:22:43,548
to whether or not that's what we are dog.
That's what you are watching
232
00:22:43,588 --> 00:22:46,608
the show for. I like that Helen Mirren
has been saying we should
233
00:22:46,648 --> 00:22:54,800
have a female Doctor. I would like
to go on record, I think it's time
234
00:22:54,840 --> 00:23:00,784
that the Queen was played by a man.
Young male. Older again. Someone
235
00:23:00,824 --> 00:23:05,844
who's dark and frightening. I would like
if the new Doctor was funny.
236
00:23:05,884 --> 00:23:13,888
would like the Doctor to be best
friends with Clara. Three words to
237
00:23:13,928 --> 00:23:18,888
describe the new Doctor.
Different from Matt.
238
00:23:18,928 --> 00:23:22,016
Well, he is the main man and
he's giving nothing away, is he, so if
239
00:23:22,056 --> 00:23:26,344
Steven won't spill the beans,
I guess it's down to me. Ladies and
240
00:23:26,384 --> 00:23:29,452
gentlemen, it's the end, but the moment
has been prepared for. I know
241
00:23:29,492 --> 00:23:32,328
you are beside yourselves
with excitement, the tension is
242
00:23:32,368 --> 00:23:36,968
unbearable and the wait
has been excruciating.
243
00:23:37,008 --> 00:23:42,248
Some of the audience are biting
into their Sonic Screwdrivers. It's time
244
00:23:42,288 --> 00:23:46,468
to put a new face to the old name.
He may be 1,000 years old but he's
245
00:23:46,508 --> 00:23:50,280
about to get a whole new lease of life.
Here we go, the big reveal,
246
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:54,092
the drunk. Moment we've all been
waiting for. Joining us now live in
247
00:23:54,132 --> 00:24:04,092
the studio exclusion you havely
on the BBC, please welcome the 12th
248
00:24:04,276 --> 00:24:14,236
Doctor, a hero for
a whole new generation, it's...
249
00:24:50,072 --> 00:24:53,544
Congratulations. Join us, join us.
I think it's safe to say they like ya!
250
00:24:53,584 --> 00:24:59,952
Peter, congratulations.
Thank you very much. Your first official
251
00:24:59,992 --> 00:25:04,688
appearance as the 12th Doctor.
How rerelieved are you? Social services
252
00:25:04,728 --> 00:25:08,292
so wonderful not to keep the secret
any longer but it's been fan it is a
253
00:25:08,332 --> 00:25:12,968
tuck in its own way -- it's so
wonderful not to keep this a secret.
254
00:25:13,008 --> 00:25:16,932
For a while, I couldn't tell
my daughter who'd be looking on the
255
00:25:16,972 --> 00:25:23,748
Internet sand saying so-and-so
should be the Doctor and she was
256
00:25:23,788 --> 00:25:27,984
get. Ing upset that they never
mentioned me. I said rise above it,
257
00:25:28,024 --> 00:25:32,060
darling. Fantastic. How did you
prepare for the audition? It was
258
00:25:32,100 --> 00:25:37,748
quite hard because even though
I'm a life long Doctor Who fan, I haven't
259
00:25:37,788 --> 00:25:44,624
played it since I was nine in a play so,
as an adult actor, I've never
260
00:25:44,664 --> 00:25:51,044
worked on it. I downloaded some
old scripts from the Internet and
261
00:25:51,084 --> 00:25:56,856
practised those in front of the mirror.
Fantastic. But some scenes
262
00:25:56,896 --> 00:26:01,640
had already been written that
referred to a Doctor of my ilk.
263
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,652
exciting. I've got clammy palms.
Over the last couple of days, fans
264
00:26:05,692 --> 00:26:09,404
in their droves will be sending
in questions for you. Kelly from Dundee
265
00:26:09,444 --> 00:26:15,416
said, what were you dog the moment
you found out you were going to be
266
00:26:15,456 --> 00:26:25,416
the next Doctor? I was filming
in Prague doing the BBC's adaptation of
267
00:26:27,568 --> 00:26:34,280
the Three News we tiers over there
and I was -- the Three Muscateers
268
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:41,212
and I had a missed call from my dear
agent when my phone was on silent.
269
00:26:41,252 --> 00:26:45,184
She answered the phone by saying
"hello Doctor" and I just laughed.
270
00:26:45,224 --> 00:26:51,640
Nicola from Stevenage wants to know,
have you been practising in front of
271
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,776
a Murs report saying, "hello,
I'm the Doctor" because you played
272
00:26:54,816 --> 00:27:00,480
Malcolm Tucker, a different Doctor
to this one you are going to be
273
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:04,744
playing? Yes, Malcolm's been banished
from the mirror by the new
274
00:27:04,784 --> 00:27:10,340
Doctor Who wouldn't put up with
any of Malcolm's language or attitudes
275
00:27:10,380 --> 00:27:15,000
to the word. I don't say I'm the Doctor,
I'm surprised to see Doctor
276
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:20,512
Who looking back now. That's what's
really strange. You look in the
277
00:27:20,552 --> 00:27:26,288
mirror and suddenly strangely
he's looking back and he's not me yet.
278
00:27:26,328 --> 00:27:31,104
But he's reaching out and hopefully
we'll get it together. It's still
279
00:27:31,144 --> 00:27:35,872
early days. You have been in Doctor Who
already. You said yourself you
280
00:27:35,912 --> 00:27:41,368
have been a fan for a long,
long time, so much so that you actually
281
00:27:41,408 --> 00:27:51,368
wrote to the Radio Times years ago.
Have a look at this letter that
282
00:28:07,612 --> 00:28:11,976
Peter wrote, a young Peter wrote
to Maybe that got you the job? I've
283
00:28:12,016 --> 00:28:17,324
hidden that from bhief for about
25 years and it's the full anorak and
284
00:28:17,364 --> 00:28:20,760
geek. You are never going to get
a girlfriend with a letter luke that!
285
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:26,308
It seems here in the 50th year
of the show, here you are sitting on
286
00:28:26,348 --> 00:28:29,244
the hot seat. Do you have a message
for all the fans? I think it's an
287
00:28:29,284 --> 00:28:32,636
extraordinary show and the thing
that strike mess about it is that
288
00:28:32,676 --> 00:28:37,320
it's still here after all this time.
The reason is I think because of all
289
00:28:37,360 --> 00:28:41,336
the work of the writers and
directors and producers, the work of
290
00:28:41,376 --> 00:28:48,120
all the actors. I don't just mean
the fabulous actors who've played
291
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:52,356
the Doctor, but those who've sweted
inside rubber monster costumes --
292
00:28:52,396 --> 00:28:57,464
who've sweated. The big reason
that Doctor Who is still with us is
293
00:28:57,504 --> 00:29:02,560
because of every single view viewer,
whoever turned on to watch this
294
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:07,356
show, at any age, at any time
in its history and their history and who
295
00:29:07,396 --> 00:29:15,492
took it into hair heart, because
Doctor Who belongs to all of us,
296
00:29:15,532 --> 00:29:22,728
everyone made Doctor Who. Beautiful!
That's a very special message. We do
297
00:29:22,768 --> 00:29:30,664
have Matt Smith who has a special
message for you. I just want to wish
298
00:29:30,704 --> 00:29:37,508
my successor all the best and just
say good luck. Good on you for
299
