The Oncoming Wank

Unless you don't care at all about Doctor Who (and probably even if you don't care about Doctor Who), you're aware that they're announcing the next actor to take on the role today at 5:30 GMT. The Beeb's website has this list up:

1. William Hartnell
2. Patrick Troughton
3. Jon Pertwee
4. Tom Baker
5. Peter Davison
6. Colin Baker
7. Sylvester McCoy
8. Paul McGann
9. Christopher Eccleston
10. David Tennant
11. ???

I keep wanting to add

12. PROFIT!

Reaction to announcement of 11:

Never has the title Doctor WHO? been more appropriate.

Interesting that he wasn't really on the radar. The BBC Office of Disinformation did a bang-up job.

GLENSTER ALERT!

For all the Philip Glenister fans, tonight is the premiere of Demons (previously The Last Van Helsing, until a Hollywood studio mentioned that they owned that title), so er... if you're where it airs, it's on... now? And if you're not, well, we haf ways ov mekking you vatch.
