Before David Tennant was confirmed as the new Doctor to succeed to the rapidly exiting Chris Eccleston, I canvassed myself and some others (fans and non-fans) as to who would be on their wish list for the new Doctor - in fantasyland, money and prior engagements were no obstacle to who could be chosen.
It was not too surprising that many felt the new Doctor should really be an unknown to avoid the entanglements of past roles and offstage fame, but what I really wanted to know was which known stars people thought best matched those qualities we can only define as 'Doctorish'. Some names will be expected, others may surprise...
These are they (in no particular order) -
JOHN HANNAH ALAN RICKMAN RICHARD E GRANT MARTIN CLUNES BILL NIGHY PAUL MCGANN (restored) IAN MCKELLAN EDDIE IZZARD STEPHEN FRY ALEXANDER ARMSTRONG (life begins) RICHARD DOYLE (strange) DAVID THEWLIS (lupin: azkaban) MARK WILLIAMS (mr weasley: harry potter films) PATTERSON JOSEPH (marquis de carabas) |
