Hehe yeah, I only just realised after I posted it who she is, there's no freaking way it's true. It's just that the three specials thing rings so true but I don't know if I can handle another 2009 :cripes:

To be fair, I think people said the same thing when they got Kylie Minogue. (It's still horrifically unlikely though)

WHAT DID YOU DO?!
While it's really unlikely, I have always really wanted to see them do exactly that. Introduce the next (or a future, but next is easiest) Doctor in the middle of the current Doctor's run. We've seen the opposite plenty, current Doctor running into his past selves, so why not see it from the other way 'round?

That said, yeah, we'd probably know who was cast months ago. It'd still be neat to do, even without a totally surprise reveal.

Also, unless I'm forgetting something else, his appearance there was pretty much just limited to an extra TARDIS and a quick shot of his eyes. He wasn't really a character in the episode, just a number.

Probably. And likely a few months before that, and so on.

Yep, and like I said then, it wouldn't be impossible, particularly if they auditioned this guy at the same time they did Capaldi, and signed him to a contract of utter secrecy.

Though 4 years is a long time to wait, especially for a young actor whose career could blow up in the meantime. Remington Steele Doctor Who is a pretty good gig, but what if you're offered James Bond before it starts?

I would be down with this. He carried a movie alongside Colin Firth, Mark Strong, and Samuel L Jackson and was amazing in the process.

episode 5 they pick up that "Capaldi acted in this series the doctor took his face from somewhere" plot point no one cared about.

The talk about how complicated and different the finale is makes me think it will be overcomplicated and kind of suck like many past finales.
