Look at the cast list for the Brad Pitt zombie flick World War Z:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0816711/?ref_=nv_sr_1

In it, a certain Peter Capaldi has a role. He is listed as:

"W. H. O. Doctor"

A few weeks later, Peter Capaldi is revealed as the new

"Doctor Who"

Coincidence?

Well, yes, but it's fun!

    This has been mentioned before, and yes, it's a fluke. WHO is the World Health Organisation.

    Given that Capaldi is himself a who fan, it's possible that he asked for that as his credit for fun (without anticipating his eventual casting).

    You'd really think that this would've been pointed out countless times before, when Capaldi was first announced as the Doctor. Oh, hang on...
