I would love to write for Dr Who.
I would lop off my legs for the chance to write for Who. Then lick me stumps. Mmm. . .
Doctor Who... Page 159
He's 6' 6"?! BASTARD.
I definitely agree with Gavin, no female Doctor. It would be shit. Like a female James Bond, just silly.

There's millions of black characters on Doctor Who. In every episode. RTD makes a point of it, he seems to be one of the very few mainstream TV people that does, in all his shows, not just Dr Who.

Yep, and casting a black, or an asian, or an aborigine Doctor would be the ultimate in tokinism. Hes white. Hes a man. Leave it.

I was just joking actually. I'm not too sure on the Female Dr front either.

5'2?
Not quite that short. Thankfully.
6.0?
5'6"?
I wouldn't care if the Doctor was black, or asian or whatever.
But I don't want him to be, as I don't want him to be anyone but David! 
But like, hypothetically, imagine Richard Ayoade as the Doctor! That would, hypothetically, be quite good.

Nope!
Lalalala.
Quote: Charly @ July 7 2008, 4:42 PM BSTDoes anyone think a woman Dr would be good? I don't know personally. It all depends on how good the actress is.
I just have a feeling they're going to do it one day. Not because it's what everyone wants but because the Beeb will expect a pat on the back for being dead PC and in with the times an all that.
