Actors considered for DR Who

Rowan Atkinson
Robert Lindsey
Eric Idle
Rik Mayell
Billy Connolly
Eddie Izzard
David Walliams

Wow... any of those would have been amazing.

Walliams would have been awful. And Connolly. And probably Izzard.

The rest may have been good though!

Rik mayall!!?

"Davros, you complete and utter bastard!!"

Yeah, I can see why they all weren't picked. I sort of meant "amazing" in the sense that it would amaze me, rather than being good :D

Ah lol, they definitely would have been interesting!

I don't think you can have someone do Dr Who, who is already quite well known. Take Rowan Atkinson - people already know him as Rowan Atkinson, he couldn't really "be" Dr Who if you know what I mean. I think that's why all the previous ones (well, since the reboot, I'm not sure about before that) are people who haven't really made it into the mainstream consciousness.

Hooray for the internet

Bulls are colour blind, they do not charge at red, it is movement that makes them charge.

Kevin Costner's post apocalyptic epic, The Postman, is set in the year 2013.

Same with snake charmers... But a bit different.

I very much doubt that one, but it is a common myth.

I feel like it's been misquoted, and there's a missing piece of information. Or it's just made up tosh.
