Best New Doctor Who Type Main Man

[zoooo]

Ooh, the pretty boy assistant. I concur.

I still want Mark Gatiss to be the next Doctor. But sadly he's just plain old caucasian. Gay though!

Lenny Henry first black Dr. Who. Hah Hah, Nah I'm just kidding!

Eccleston - he bought a degree of gravitas to the role that had been missing since Baker. Much like Patrick Stewart in Next Generation - there's an air of authority there that Tenent doesn't convey that well. Always good to have old skool shakespearean actors in Sci-fi I reckon.

Chiwetel Ejiofor for the next Doctor I understand DT is to go somepart through the next but one series, if the tabloids are to be believed.

I'm just kidding!

Perhaps you could teach Henry how. Tennant ranges from a crap doctor to a brilliant doctor on an episode by eposode basis or even within the same episode. I think the problem with this series is some of the dialogue and attempts to be funny especially the beginning of the fifties episode hard for anyone to be good with that shite. Expect the kiddies love it though. I think they should bring eccleston back as the master of something and they can duke it out (the master possibly being trapped and all and the tardis forcing him to regenerate and all it could be easoily written).

Is there a Xmas Dr Who thread?

Cos I just watched it and it was really shit.

That Adrian Lester fella from Hustle would be a great Doctor.

just what i was thinking. I would love to see that, but i suspect, even more then eccleston he'd be reluctant to commit to the series long term: he's one of the uk's very finest classical / stage actors.

Chiwetel Ejiofor has far too much going on on Hollywood now.

No! ME! ME! ME!

I hear Richard Blackwood is at a loose end these days.

Just think of it, a doctor doing a particularly crappy Eddie Murphy impression throughout...

Such a versatile actor, but I think he's too good to waste on something like a BBC kids series and be stuck in one part for any period of time.
