BBC To Go "The Decision" On Doctor Who

The BBC will air a half-hour special on Sunday night to announce who will be taking over the lead role on their 50-year-old tent-pole program. The Beeb also added BBC America will simulcast live (at 2pm ET). The favorites to play the Twelfth Doctor are Peter Capaldi, Chris Addison (both of The Thick of It), Burn Gorman (Pacific Rim), David Harewood (Homeland), Ben Daniels (House of Cards), and Rory Kinnear (Quantum of Solace, Skyfall).
Of course, tabloid speculation in Britain is never really accurate: they've had Tom Cruise, David Beckham, Jason Statham, and Jacko's daughter Paris rumored to be considered, and Idris Elba and Dame Helen Mirren have both had to publicly deny interest.
