"Bill Nighy has described Peter Capaldi as a &amp;quot;brilliant, inspired choice&amp;quot; to replace Matt Smith on Doctor Who. Speaking at the premiere of his new film About Time, Nighby told PA that Capaldi will bring &amp;quot;a lot of wit and dry humour&amp;quot; to the role of The Doctor.   The Thick of It actor was announced as the 12th Doctor in a live BBC One broadcast last weekend. Nighy said: &amp;quot;I think it&amp;#039;s a brilliant, inspired choice. It&amp;#039;s one of those things where you think, &amp;#039;Of course he&amp;#039;s the Doctor. Why didn&amp;#039;t I think of that before?&amp;#039; &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s a marvellous actor. He&amp;#039;ll be very cool as the Doctor. He&amp;#039;ll bring a lot of wit and dry humour. He&amp;#039;s elegant and he looks great. It&amp;#039;s a great, great choice,&amp;quot; he added. Nighy guest starred in the long-running BBC series in 2010 episode &amp;#039;Vincent and the Doctor&amp;#039;.
