Meanwhile, Vulture claimed in a report that Peter Capaldi is the perfect actor to play The Doctor, even if he's one of the oldest.
"'Doctor Who' has had many fine actors take the lead, and several of them danced with greatness, but Capaldi is surely the greatest actor yet to have been cast as the Doctor, and it's difficult to imagine the show flailing with this man as its new face," the website said.
Peter Capaldi actually won the Oscars in 1995 for Best Short Film, Live Action category for "Franz Kafka's It's A Wonderful Life." He also won the BAFTA TV award in 2010 for Best Male Performance in a Comedic Role for the 2005 feature "The Thick of It."
