DT will be a hard act to follow.

Richard Armitage
Damien Lewis
Rupert Penry Jones
Lawrence Fox
Sean Pertwee
Hugh Grant
David Morrisey

would be my choices but DT staying on would be the best result.

VanessaParody · 02/01/2009 20:26

I hate Keith Allen. We passed him on Wardour St one evening and my very pissed friend shouted "alright Dave, going to the Gaucho club?". harhar 'Dave' was very confused!

Would the blonde Spook who got blown up be too wooden to play the Dr? I do want an iCandy? Dr.

I'll cry if they give it to a comedian.

VanessaParody · 02/01/2009 20:29

Ah xpost with scary. Yes to your Damien or Laurence.

Definitely not to Hugh Grant or David Morrissey though.

oggsfrog · 02/01/2009 20:30

I do like a bit of Paul Bettany.

If we had a bit of a whip-round do you reckon we could persuade the sublime Mr Tennant to stay?
Nah? Shame.

It won't be the same...

VanessaParody · 02/01/2009 20:39

Paul Bettany is too tall to fit in the Tardis no?

oggsfrog · 02/01/2009 20:41

He's only 2" taller than David Tennant apparently (I do like a tall man ).

Clary · 02/01/2009 20:45

oooh I saw this too.

Kids v excited (as am I).

MI glad to see that mention of D Who has lured you out of wherever you have been hiding

Agree re Paterson Joseph, nice. Tho not really in DT class. But maybe DT will thus be released to do more live theatre yum yum yum (LLL at Stratford ooh lovelyhighlight of 2008 for me without a doubt)

cornsilk · 02/01/2009 20:45

Jonathan Rhys Meyer could do it. He wouldn't have to act, he could just stand in the Tardis looking sultry.

Clary · 02/01/2009 20:46

oh yes meant to say James McAvoy toooooo short (as well as too young).

Tennant nice and tall oh yes indeed.

Sorry this wasn't a DT thread was it

If we're fantasizing then Keanu would make a fab doctor. (sigh)

cornsilk · 02/01/2009 20:50

Should that be with an 's' or a 'z'? My PC wanted it to have a 'z' in but I'd have put an 's'.

slayerette · 02/01/2009 20:51

oooooh - came over all unnecessary at thought of J Rhys-Meyers looking sultry in Tardis.

Absolutely - sod the acting!

wintera · 02/01/2009 20:51

Most of the buzz now on the net is that its Patterson Joseph. Seems like one of his co-stars from Survivors might have fucked up in an interview and revealed it. Here is the interview -

Paperchase · 02/01/2009 20:53

cornsilk your PC is American. Slap it hard at once. Or change your settings to English (UK).

Oooh Patterson Joseph..... I so would....

cornsilk · 02/01/2009 20:55

Aha - change the settings, I don't know how to do that

LoveMyLapTop · 02/01/2009 21:08

it seems like it will be PJ
would be very timely to have a black DR Who
there is a spoof on youtube with Obama as Dr Who and Hillary as his assistant!

oggsfrog · 02/01/2009 21:11

Sorry Cornsilk no idea how to change the settings but if we're allowed Keanu (very good choice btw) then I'd like to add...

Jake Gyllenhaal (too young really but sheesh who cares?)
Brendan Fraser
Hugh Jackman

and back to the brits...

Alan Rickman
David Thewlis
Joseph Fiennes

haveamerrymankyscotslass · 02/01/2009 21:12

Alan Rickman....yes please

KayHarker · 02/01/2009 21:13

Keanu 'Me? or a tree? Spot the difference!' Reeves?
Jonathan 'Look, I have lips!' Rhys-Meyers?

Oy vey, no no no.

Desipte not really going for him when I initially heard, I have everything crossed for Paterson Joseph. Well, not literally. Quite the opposite in some senses..

oggsfrog · 02/01/2009 21:13

Can you imagine those velvet tones...."I am the Doctor"

KayHarker · 02/01/2009 21:18

Brendan Fraser?!! Are you people trying to kill me? (That's a definite no to him as the Doctor, though)

oggsfrog · 02/01/2009 21:22

But we've moved beyond the acting and are just having a bit of a letch fun imagining said hunks actors leaning out of the tardis door enticingly

peggotty · 02/01/2009 21:23

Am I alone in thinking that DrWHo should not be too 'pretty' iykwim? So Keanu, Jonathan Rhys Meyer, Joseph Fiennes etc should all be ruled out on that basis. (we have descended into fantasy drwho territory anyway, haven't we?!)

oggsfrog · 02/01/2009 21:32

Ooh. Ooh. I really liked DT's floppy fringe and
Milo Ventimiglia has the fringe thing going on.
