Were there any clues given?

From what Ive read its a `He` not a `She` and not one of the obvious candidates (Nesbit/Morrissey) has there been any more about Paterson Joseph since his survivors co stars slip of the tongue?

Not on any of the news reports I have heard .

Ive got a gut feeling it may be Paterson Joseph, who i wasnt keen on to start with but since watching Survivors he`s really grown on me.

That`s funny, after the Christmas special the missus and I were talking about candidates for the new Doctor, and we thought Max Beesley would be good, and also Paterson Joseph, even though I always think of him as Johnson in Peep Show :)

looking at tv.com he looks versatile enough, i.e. he`s done comedy, he can do action roles, play a nice guy, or a hard man as needed.

BTS lurker reckons it`s

SPOILER:
I`ve been reliably informed via a BBC source that it is Chiwetel Ejiofor. It also can`t be a coincidence that the movie "Kinky Boots" is being given its premiere this weekend on BBC 2. Announcement tomorrow, followed by record ratings for the movie as everyone tunes in to see Chiwetel in drag!




I consider myself an optimist, albeit an optimist with cynical tendencies and a dark side that Lucifer himself would find a little creepy. (Perhaps you've noticed.) You don't normally associate cynicism with an upbeat pov. But I have exactly that combination and will defend it.

When fishermen catch dolphin-friendly tuna, how do they know which tuna are being friendly to dolphins?

well, if it is the person in Rassilon`s spoiler, that`s really weird, because I was listening to a radio play I recorded from the radio a few months ago today, & that person is one of the stars.

Wow! Well, I`m keeping an open mind, but yeah, could be a cool doctor!

Will definitely be watching that tomorrow evening - thanks for the tip! 8)

The person mentioned in Rassilon`s spoiler might be a red herring because they`re a BBC face???
