Best: Jack Davenport. Already worked with The Moff.

Good call, though he can be a little stiff.

Quote: Griff @ October 30 2008, 1:21 PM BST

He didn't really count as Dr.Who either.

Shame as he was so much better than Tenant.

Stick that timey wimey crap up your arse.

I notice on the Den of Geek site that they have past and current betting odds on Jason Statham getting the part. That would certainly bring in a whole new audience!

I'd start looking at actors Moffat has worked with, or possibly actors who appeared in one of his episodes.

Please, not Dexter Fletcher!

Never. Going. To happen. That would be properly mental.

Crocodile Who's?

Philip Glenister? I think we need a fighty Dr like Pertwee, some one to throw out some Venusian judo chops.

How about Vinnie Jones? Jackie Chan or Russell Crow?

I'd love to see a Dr nutting Daleks and kicking Cybermen in their cyberbollocks.

Or Richard Coyle:

All good actors.

Yessss!!

Best: Martin Freeman
Worst: Jason Statham

If that's the case it's between, Davenport or Ben Miles:

Or Richard Coyle:

All good actors.

As has been mentioned, Davenport is pure balsa, and I seem to recall Moffatt had a big falling out with Coyle after he wouldn't do the third series of Coupling.

Miles is a more interesting suggestion. But a bit too conventionally handsome for the Doctor?

I think we can rule out the Welsh bloke.

Crocodile Who's?

:D

I think we can rule out the Welsh bloke.

Which Welsh bloke?

Dexter Fletcher and Jason Statham definitely not (nor Nick Moran for that matter) but how about Jason Flemming?

Quote: David Bussell @ October 30 2008, 2:15 PM BST

Best: Martin Freeman

Get out. Now. Go.

Quote: Timbo @ October 30 2008, 2:18 PM BST

Jason Flemming?

No! I quite liked the Rhys Ifans suggestion earlier.

Quote: Finck @ October 30 2008, 2:17 PM BST

Which Welsh bloke?

Tom Jones.

Quote: David Bussell @ October 30 2008, 2:15 PM BST

Best: Martin Freeman

I'll never forgive him for Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Talking of which David Dixon would have made a decent Doctor.

Chris Addison anyone?

Ok, what about an English/Irish one then. Shane McGowan.
