I'm dying to confirm this on my site as well, but I agree, with no
BBC confirmation, I'm leaving this as rumor status. If I were to bet,
I'd say they'll confirm it around Christmas. BBC would also want to
get "Survivors" on BBC America to really test him with audiences.
Tennant is so far my favorite, too.

Regardless...I saw a clip of him in Neverwhere. He's got the right
eyes for the role and enough of the Tenth Doctor in him to pull it
off.
I've seen the other candidates...meh.
Frankly, I'd rather have Tennant back. If he'd come back after the
specials and say "Just kidding", I'd gladly forgive him and take
him back on the show.

OK now that it is official, what do you guys think?
Paterson Joseph to be the first black Doctor Who
The actor Paterson Joseph is to be the first black Doctor Who. Sources
close to the BBC have reportedly confirmed that he has been asked to
be the new Doctor and that he accepted a couple of days ago. You can
currently see him in the science fiction TV series Survivors, as Greg
Preston, one of the lucky - well, perhaps - 5 per cent to survive a
global meta-plague.
London-born, as well as Survivors, Paterson Joseph's fantasy and
science fiction resume includes the Marquis de Carabas in Neverwhere,
a bit part in the Doctor Who episode Bad Wolf, as Giroux alongside
Charlize Theron in Paramount's Aeon Flux movie; as Space Marshall
Clarke in the BBC SF sitcom Hyperdrive, and he played Benjamin in the
BBC's fantasy horror series Jekyll.
First Obama, now Doctor Who, what can we say at SFcrowsnest.com apart
from wow! He's a great actor and he'll be a fab Doctor.
