This is so spectacular!  I love the look of wonder on Peter’s face, here, and I really love the enthusiasm of the fans.  Every moment of this World Tour has only served to prove, I think, that not only was he practically born to be the Doctor, but also, that his arrival on the scene is the most phenomenally huge, the most international, and the most magical Doctor debut the show has ever had.  That he’s one of Doctor Who’s biggest fans and he actually gets to be in the middle of this maelstrom of love at such a perfect time is just so special to see.  I couldn’t be happier for him!

It was just days ago we first saw an interview where he expressed his misgivings about how he’d be received as the Doctor, but I think by now, he must have some notion that the world just absolutely adores him already.  Those who were unfamiliar with his amazing talent have had a good chance now to get to know his acting and see what the rest of us know already - that his talent is vast and versatile and that he’s got the necessary chops to be a magnificent Doctor.   

All along while he’s been busy filming, we’ve seen sneak peeks and public appearances and fan encounters, and we’ve seen for ourselves how very kind and generous a man he is, personally, and how much he cares about his fans.  It’s really only natural that between knowing how good he is, as an actor, and as a person, that we so eagerly give that love back to him thousandfold, at the very least.  He’s one of us, and there’s no doubt about it: the Doctor is in the best possible hands.  I can hardly wait for the 23rd!
