And Doctor Who's new assistant is...........

Scarily, the same article says that Martin Clunes was almost the new Doctor but mugged himself up by asking for too much money.

Here's to greed eh?! :)
Pretty sure that's bollocks, he was up for the "Other Doctor" part in the last Christmas Special, not the Actual Doctor.

That is a possibility, after all the 'source ' quoted in the report isnt named. That said, from the same AP report:

A source said: "Producers wanted Martin to take over Tennant's job full-time and were desperate to see him in the Christmas episode. They saw it as a trial for the main job but they found the whole casting process very frustrating. Talent comes at a price and the show could simply not afford Martin. It's a shame as he would have been perfect."

Martin's agent admitted he had been approached for the Doctor Who Christmas special but denied there was a dispute over cash and that the deal collapsed four days before filming.

I was out of the country for a good while, so could someone please enlighten me what Martin Clunes has done in the past 10 years to make him think he can spit in the eye of Dr Who over cash? :confused:

He's been a Doctor already, in Cornwall. I understand the training is quite involved.
 
clunes was never in the running to be the new doctor, though he was supposed to be in the christmas episode and david morrissey was cast at very short notice.
 
Its Dr Who for F*cks sake....she can't make it any sh*tter...more beareable aesthetically I guess though still pap:)
 
didnt think this deserved its own thread so anyway...

my brother was playing cards in a bar with david tennant in dubai last night :cool:
 
my brothers known him for years, they were chummy before David even got the part of the Doctor
 
Get introduced. Get married.
