I don't like the idea of having a Doctor who's under 40, so this time go for someone much older. You could have a young male assistant carry out the running about etc, and have a more sedate actor in the lead role.

The series now is so much about the energy and fast pace that I don't think an actor who was too old could be seriously considered. This years Christmas special is called The Next Doctor and has David Morrissey in it; I think he would have been a good choice, and he's not too young.

I hope they carry on the tradition of casting someone who no-one had predicted.

Tennant though was an obvious choice at the time. I remember watching Casanova, also written by Davies, and saying he'll be be the next Doctor.

Sorry, I've just been dipping into this thread and didn't see that the Rab C joke had been down twice already. Nice typo on "assinine" by the way.

The documentary shown before 'Rose' in March 2005 was narrated by Tennant, which made me think - hold on, what's he got to do with it!?

Yeah, I thought that at the time as well. But before you, obviously.

Michael Sheen?

You weren't even born when I dreamt up that shit; don't front with me.

GREAT choice.

I'm sure I heard Tennant or RTD mention Sheen at some point, ruling him out or some such remark. Sheen is the no.1 choice, I would have said, but is he too famous already?

Who might be good:

Richard E Grant
Sean Bean
Gary Oldman
David Thewlis

Personally I thought Christopher Ecclestone was the best.

Worst:
Five Star. All of them. It would be a bit much.
The bloke who was Pete Beale in Eastenders. He barely knew his way around a cauli, let alone a tardis.

Too late. I'm fronting it. Whatever that actually means.

Apparently it's a straight choice between Andy Serkis or David Walliams*
