DT will be a hard act to follow.

I am still in mourning for DT but I know I will end up loving the new Doctor.

I thought John Simm would have been great but agree they couldn't have got away with it after him being the master.

Happy flippin - I agree Paul Bettany would make an excellent doctor.

Was anyone else a bit disappointed with this years xmas special? I thought it was a bit unremarkable?

(Oh dear - do I need to get out more - can't believe how excited I got by this thread!)

KayHarker · 02/01/2009 16:38

pag, seriously, it could not be as bad as myself and DT. Goodness knows what depths of fanfic depravity I will sink to if it's Simm (don't think it is, mind..)

Kay

Its when you put the DVD on for a bit of [ahem] private viewing that you know your in trouble.
farkin hell. Here come the drums...

What about James McAvoy? He's named as a possibility on one of the BBC links.

KayHarker · 02/01/2009 16:47

For me, it's when Simm whispers 'Decimate' in The Sound of Drums. Mi-bloody-aow.

roisin · 02/01/2009 16:49

We will be travelling at 5.53pm tomorrow - please don't anyone tell the boys!

KayHarker · 02/01/2009 16:50

I have slipped through to a parallel universe where all my crushes are going to be cast as the Doctor solely for the purposes of fanfic...

James McAvoy? purrrrrr....

MMMMMMMMMM - human chocolate!!!

belgo · 02/01/2009 17:04

here is a BBC link of the possibilities - I go for Russel Tovey having seen him in Little Dorritt, I thought he was great.

LoveMyLapTop · 02/01/2009 17:11

OMG Sean Pertwee!
I feel faint just thinking about it!

I'm going to have to watch the John Simm episodes tonight now. Ds's will think I'm a Dr Who geek, when really I'm perving over the bad guy....

Russel Tovey a bit young? (but only because I am OLD).

KayHarker · 02/01/2009 17:27

Russell Tovey looks 12. It would certainly solve my 'It's-too-wierd,I-fancy-The-Doctor' problem.

Because it would create a really yucky 'It's-VERY-wierd-to-fancy-the-Doctor-because-he's-prepubescent' problem I am happy to avoid...

ClarissimoUsedToBePeachy · 02/01/2009 17:37

Oh now if Paterson Joseph could carry off Numberwang he can do anything LOL

I rather like him and they have cast people I like in the past...

edam · 02/01/2009 17:43

As long as it's someone who LOVES and respects the programme as much as D Tennant does I'll be happy.

serenity · 02/01/2009 17:46

None of the favourites are bad. Can't be Russel Tovey though as I need him to keep doing 'Being Human' - prefer him as a werewolf, than as 11!

Been texting my journo friend to see if they find out earlier than the rest of us plebs and she's fairly convinced it's going to be Paterson - hasn't heard anything official though.

slayerette · 02/01/2009 17:46

All those contenders for the part leave me a bit - meh

Even though I love James McAvoy, I just don't see him as the Dr. And I don't like Russell Tovey's nose... S'pose Paterson Joseph is the best of the bunch - if it's James Nesbitt, I will stop watching...

KayHarker · 02/01/2009 17:52

Slayerette, I wouldn't stop watching, but i'd watch through inconsolable sobs.

But it's not James Nesbitt.

Oh, I'm so flamin' excited it's mildly beyond reason.

TheArmadillo · 02/01/2009 17:54

I doubt it will be Russell Tovey - though he would be my favourite choice. I think he looks younger than he is as apparently is older than I am.

Am pissed off with being human though - as they keep filming outside my house and are a real pain.

AlistairSim · 02/01/2009 17:55

Sean Pertwee?

swoon

Paperchase · 02/01/2009 17:57

Ronnie Corbet.

haveamerrymankyscotslass · 02/01/2009 17:59

I like the idea os a slighty older Doctor, Sean Pertween would be great.

unfitmother · 02/01/2009 18:01

I can't wait!!!!!!!
