A 'NEW WHO' WISH LIST
Back!
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)
