Nope, I'm not about to give away a huge scoop. I'm just giving people a heads up that the announcement is less than 24 hours away. It will be made on a specoal edition of Doctor Who Confidential that will air on BBC One tomorrow at 5:35pm GMT. Paterson Joseph, David Morrissey, Sean Pertwee, James Nesbitt, Russell Tovey and James McAvoy have all been mentioned as possibles at one time or another. Paterson Joseph and James Nesbitt have both been previously named as bookies favourites Russell Tovey has been mooted as being the first choice of departing Doctor Who writer Russell T Davies. I'm not sure who is going to be named but Sean Pertwee, son of thrid doctor Jon Pertwee, would be an interesting choice.
