Younger fans have been relating to a younger and hotter Doctor. Though Julian looks like a great candidate and one I'd gladly watch, would it fly with everyone?
@DeathNote704 Very true on both counts. Of course, Supernatural is due to end soon, and at any rate, Julian has only been appearing sporadically on the series...
@robertwlester naturally the eleventh has some quirks I enjoy, I understand he is a fan of the second Dr, but who knows, once the Dr's first question is answered the usefulness of the 11th Dr may be all used up
@robertwlester The master copies of Doctor Who were not stolen or burned... They were deliberately destroyed to save space/storage costs. This was before home video...
@thecosmichobo they most lightly thought it wouldn't have still been remembered let alone popular in this day and age, DOH! and a hundred graves of BBC chiefs & planners turn
The Doctor can't exist beyond 13 forms. His original form, the one he was born in, plus 12 regenerations. That adds up to 13 different Doctors. And unless the plan on having the final Doctor stay on the show til he ages out and "dies" of old age (Time Lords have a lifespan of about 900 years without regenerating), the show can't feature the Doctor.
@cero0espada My theory is that 1 of the 2 last Time Lords will take up the Mantle of Doctor, or they'll come up with their own title.
The first choice is Susan Foreman, the original Doctor's biological granddaughter and Time Lord (Or Time Lady, if you prefer)
The Second choice is Jenny, a "clone"/"daughter" of the Doctor. While she is an artificial being, she is still a full blooded Time Lord (Or Lady) and also has 12 more regenerations.
@thecosmichobo A Time Lord only lives for about 1 thousand years. The first doctor was over 900 and he died of old age and overexertion. Theoretically a Time Lord could live 13000 years. This is only if each form lives to old age.
Jenny did not regenerate. Her wounds, while serious,were not fatal and her natural healing fixed her. If she had regenerated, she would have changed forms.
I don't know anything about Susan Foreman, unfortunately.
@cero0espada The Doctor, a rogue Time Lord, prone to quick regenerations, has lived at least 1000 years... So one could assume a "safe" Time Lord would easily live several thousand years...
The 13 limit is clearly up for debate, though indeed was firmly established in the original series.
@thecosmichobo Another theory with Jenny could possibly be that only male Time Lords change form when regenerating, and female Time Lords (Or Time Lady) can regenerate just the same, but don't change form. I'll have to look into it more.
I think the next Doctor will be a woman, anyhoo I don't know about doctor who, but ths actor would be great as Sherlock Holmes, I always think holmes and doctor who are similar characters anyway, both crimes fighters in a way both right wrong at least, both are brilliant minds but are mavericks, and both very very British, and both have a deep air of mystery about them. There was a serial done with Tom Baker the Talons of Wang Chiang, which was basically a holmes story.
I would LOVE him as the Doctor. Loved him as DEATH, and just seeing his face screams classic Doctor. Nostalgia is a very powerful card to play, so long as you use it at the right moment.
I had a look at your video and have a suggestion to throw out there...perhaps he isnt likely the next doctor but damn if you look he could very easily pull off a younger more vibrant 1st doctor...think about it how cool would that be.
@Christopher123450 and @the cosmichobo The song at the beginning is "The Doctor's Theme" It's listed as that while Tennant was the Doctor, so it's 10's theme and 11 has his own theme.
it would look stupid if that old bloke in the video played the doctor because if that happened it wouldn't look right and if you care to notice that the doctors regeneration cyle starts of as him being old and then younger and ending up with matt smith and if this bloke became the doctor the cycle would be messed up and if it goes from old to young then why would it go from young to old. EXPLAIN THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@legoskywalker10 No. That's not how the regeneration cycle works. He does not get younger as his incarnations go on. If you actually look at joining and leaving dates of the actors and take into account their ages 4/11 Doctors regenerate into older bodies. 9 and 11 have also said they could be *anything*, which includes older. An older Doctor is not impossible.
Love him as death but I could never get that out of my head if he was the Doctor. They won't go back to an old geezer anyway. Older than Matt yes but not that old.
I'd take DELTA over almost all Moffat because: it tried, it was different, it made sense, it was fun, it was interesting, it had chases, bees, a possible time Lord, action, and lots of great scenes of the Doctor, unlike almost all of Moffat, which is embarassing, makes little to no sense, cheats the audience, etc. Smith and Moffat should go now.
I think that if they did multi-doctor special for the 50th anniversary, he could be cast as the first doctor. He looks almost exactly like william hartnell, except with black hair.
He would make a great Doctor, especially if he got the types of story lines that would make his talents and presence show through. I would kind of expect a blend of numbers 1 (the mature), 4 (the fixer), and 9 (something a little dark). Perhaps a little of 3 (the crusader) as well. That would be interesting.
Eager for Smith to move on ? I am more eager for Moffat to move on. He's ruined DW. As for Smith he started out great but is now the worst Doctor ever. I hope he and Smith leave now. Worst time for the show ever. Just awful stories, awful acting, awful companion, awful arcs; the worst
@ridernotlook I see from your channel you have a bit of of a chip on your shoulder re: the Moffat era. Presumably you thought farting aliens, magic sattelites and burping bins were the work of a genius. I suggest 2 things:
1. Go and watch Delta and the Bannerman (7th Doctor era) then come back and see if you can say that "worst time ever" with a straight face; and
2. Stop watching. Nobody's forcing you. Go watch your Tennant DVDs and wait for the writers to change.
Dude I was agreeing with you: they should try something new and cast someone older or even younger BUT the show as it stands now is terrible, in a rut, and playing it safe. The stories are terrible, the scripts awful, the acting disgusting (Karen is terrible and Smith cannot act anymore, Karen can't act period, Smith is the worst Doctor ever), and the "arcs" a cheat and silly and dumb. Even the titles stink: the Wedding of River Song, Let's Kill Hitler, a Good Man Goes to War. Three of the worst
@cooleymovies Agreed but I suspect by the time a swap is due Mr Cumberbatch may be too highly in demand on both sides of the Atlantic to spend 9 months a year filming Dr Who :(
youre an idiot. i like this actor very much, im a huge fan of Supernatural and love the Death character. but you think that qualifies him to be Doctor Who? Why would he jump from being young to so old he is cast as Death? His performance in Supernatural was amazing, but its opposite of the quirky, clever, goofy, free, flowing personality of the Doctor.
@Nonkosher What I thought qualified him to play the Doctor was his intense and super wise appearance as Death, his flamboyant nature in The Last Casino, his nerdiness in - well numerous other roles...
In Meet the New Boss (Supernatural), he certainly was quirky, and he's always very clever and witty.
He'd make a fantastic Who villain, that's for sure (mind you, I don't watch Supernatural, this is the first time I've seen mr Richings).
He could make an interesting Doctor, he's very much like Hartnell in this scene, but the Death attitude should have to go - the Doctor must have a sense of humor and love and sympathy towards all of creation.
The level of his silliness is debatable (compare 11 with 9 and with 7 - entirely different), but this speech is fitting the Master, or Rassilon...
@yarner42 Seeing as you haven't seen Supernatural, I'll fill you in. Death isn't all that evil in Supernatural. He is more like a man of the law, because all things must die. He even helped the protagonists one time.
Julian has done allot of sci-fi in his career including the war of the worlds the 2nd invasion tv series in 1988-1990, I Was a Sixth Grade Alien 1999-2000, The Cube , Robocop, universal soldier , The X-men films ect.. Doctor Who would be right up his aisle
@ZiBlueProtractor Well, they both have the same motto. "Everything has to die one day" isn't all that different from "Everything has its time", is it?
@christopher123450 I set out to make a video to share my opinion that Julian Richings would make a good Doctor... I've had over 100,000 people watch this video to date... Sure, more than 50% don't appear to like my suggestion... but I wouldn't call this a fail. :)
COMMENT FROM AN AMERICAN:I can't speak for the rest of the nation, but this fan would, in fact, like to see a more mature Doctor.Was William Hartnell a teen heart throb.And how about Tom Baker.You're saying he sucked?You know, there was another British series, excellent, that started casting to appeal to the glands of its younger viewers.Over here, it was cancelled faster than you can say 'Nielson.'Matt Smith is a fine actor, but television programs must grow in order to survive.
@ramsden82 Well, Matt has said he has 1 more year... Some say that's just "1 more year til I think about doing another 1 more year", but I don't see him continuing beyond the 50th Anniversary.
He couldn't possibly be the next Doctor. First of all, he's American and all Doctors are British. Second, he doesn't look anything like a Doctor. And three, and that's just my opinion, I'd like to see another young, excentric Doctor.
@thecosmichobo Yeah, well, he still has got that American/Canadian dialect. He looks a bit like the first Doctor, yes, but also he's much gaunter. He seems so unsympathetic, that's just the biggest issue for me
@MyComicStyle That (unsympathetic) is likely as his role in this show was as "Death"... :) And again, he was acting in a US tv series, so he's using his North American accent...
@thecosmichobo I know which character he played. I saw the entire apocalypse story arch. Maybe it's because of that, maybe not. It's just my opinion, anyway. And, most importantly, do not use the word accent in such a sentence. It's dialect. It's insanely annoying how people keep confusing the two words. An accent is the way a person with english as a second language talks. A dialect is the way people talk english. American, canadian, british, irish, scottish... those are dialects.
@Castiel666xD Lol, no. Supernatural is shot in British Columbia, not in Ontario. Besides, he has only starred in 3 episode of Supernatural spread over 2 years, that is clearly not enough to move there.
I could see this guy playing the 1st Doctor in the 50th anniversary special, with a little make-up and a wig, anyway. He kinda looks like William Hartnell.
I could see him doing well in the role. It would be an about face from the younger doctors of the revived series, but it could work. Honestly I'm not that worried about it. I haven't seen much of the older series, but I've liked every doctor I've come across one way or another.
Why are you so eager for Matt Smith to move on? He is staying to at least the end of 2013. That's official, and I hope he stays longer. Even as long as tom Baker did, should he want.
@Monkofmagnesia Just a few weeks ago Smith announced to Radio Times that he'd be doing 1 more year, then shooting for Hollywood... confirming the rumours from 2011 that he had ambitions to "make it big" in the States now his career has had the kick that WHO offers.
Nothing against him for that, just his age, and the lead writer. Maybe 2012/3 will make me lament his loss, as you evidently will.
@Monkofmagnesia Agreed, Matt Smith and David Tennant both have the perfect personality and energetic voice for the role of Doctor Who. Learned to move on and now I'm seeing something in Matt Smith
@thecosmichobo I think he would play a wonderful Doctor. I think he would play a better Master, however. He can pull off scary, which is a trait sorely needed for repairing the character's reputation. John Simm just did not do it for me, particularly after someone had the bright idea to exclude Derek Jacobi in his favor. Julian made me wonder, "maybe the Winchester's will lose this time," with his performance as Death.
@thecosmichobo I do not want to see the heroes fail, I just want to believe that such is possible. Julian could do it. He could play a man-shaped beast, devoid of humanity, who is driven to be wicked in the same way the Doctor is driven to be just.
I wouldn't mid to see an older Doctor again. John Pertwee was one of the better Doctors, in my opinion. I don't think any of them can top Tom Baker, though.
After some certain research. One of the major reasons they are going with younger actors on Dr. Who is so in the future unless of a untimely demise, they can do more specials with the orginal actors. Comapired to what they had to do in the 25 years of Doctor Who special The Five Doctors. Having another actor play the role of the first Dr.
@freshfarmster44 Sorry, but no... They cast Matt Smith, ie younger, simply because they liked what he did in his audition. They were going to cast an older actor until that point. There is no grand plan, just to allow for a multi Doctor story that may or may not happen in 25 years...
@thecosmichobo You actually buy that huh? Sex appeal is too big a deal with modern Doctor Who, that is why the younger actors. The Beeb wants marketing potential and ratings potential.
Very nicely put together. He's very reminiscent of the first doctor, although he seems much more...cynical than that. I know it's a fake but it would be nice to see someone like this play the doctor as a change from the two young and brilliant ones we've had, and eccleston as the one misanthropic and serious one.
He would be brilliant - exactly what the show needs at the moment, to maintain its integrity. Love Tennant, Smith and particularly Ecclestone (and when oh when will we see McGann in the main game) - but this guy? He's exactly the sort of man we need to reinstate change - rather than a swapping of pretty (though excellent) young things. Great suggestion.
while I doubt they'd go for an older actor anymore, given the scene of him stepping out of the car, complete with cane and ring, I could _easily_ see him playing a younger version of the 1st Doctor. If they decide to do a part of a story showing how the Doctor wound up at Totters Lane with his granddaughter in the early sixties, say, for a 50th anniversary or something maybe :-), this guy would _have_ to be the ideal choice. He even _looks_ like a young William Hartnell!
I think this is an amazing video - and its clear to me that you really understand the character of Doctor who - I actually think this should have been the direction the show went after Tennant - given the immense loss that character went through. Unfortunately - the show lost the whole "last of the time lords" thing that made the recent doctors so alluring. I can't imagine this version (or something like it) being made...too risky for the producers...but this would be MY DOCTOR.
This would scare me to high hell. I think he plays far too cold a character for The Doctor. I don't even think The Master could live up to what he could provide the show.
No, make this man the Black Guardian, he could very well portray the immense darkness of such a being.
The next actor will likely be of comparable age to Matt Smith, since one of the purposes of regeneration is to reverse the body's biological age and thus extend its lifespan.
I read the description/disclaimer before viewing the video... and I must say Great Job!! I have only been turned onto Doctor Who recently... and I think your choice of 12th Doctor is brilliant.
If they wanted to do a story line or flashback featuring the Doctor in his first incarnation, before we meet him and Susan in the pilot episode, he would be a perfect actor to play the role! I have always wanted to see the moment when the Doctor steals the TARDIS (or rather, when it steals him).
So Death becomes The Doctor - how fitting. The Doctor sent the Daleks and Cybermen to hell, but Death sent little Sammy to hell along with Lucifer, Micheal and Sam.
@TheFreebornFanatic Fine, I stick to watch the old serials with legendary Doctors like Tom Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Peter Davison, Jon Pertwee, all the way up to David Tennant. You can be the "duh, the Doctor has infinite lives now, duh!" fool and happily watch the producers continue to destroy the legacy of Doctor Who. Hey! That means more EMO type 20 year old guys running around claiming they are the Doctor and immortal! Yeah!!!!
@bluekuts It was announced recently that he has infinite regenerations, not 'over 500' dunno where TheFreebornFanatic pulled that from. It was in the sarah jane adventures I think, just google 'doctor who immortal'
@TheFreebornFanatic Just cause the Master was able to continue past the 12 regenerations (through evil means) doesn't mean the Doctor can do it. Which SERIAL or EPISODE? Name your proof!
@CmdrSheepHurter Julian has been a supporting actor in many film and tv roles for the past 30 odd years, and this clip was taken from his most recent, and popular appearance, as "Death" in the tv show "Supernatural".
@thecosmichobo aw, your welcome! it makes it een beter that he loks like a younger version of 1, but not to young. but Matt will be loved and missed once hes gone. yea, he should be starting to show it though. the closest they got was wth 10 in the Sound of Drums (was that the episode name, i cant remember)
@sevengables7 Sorry to break it to you, but Smith admitted recently to Radio Times that he has 1 more year of Doctor Who left before he tries his luck in Hollywood...
i dont know why you have so many dislikes for this video. it may be fan made. but if i was never told that, id so believe it. its amazing, and you didnt pick someone completely unrealistic, you picked someone i can see as him, a sensible person. I thank you for this, making this extrodinary video
Younger fans have been relating to a younger and hotter Doctor. Though Julian looks like a great candidate and one I'd gladly watch, would it fly with everyone?

He'd make a fantastic Who villain, that's for sure (mind you, I don't watch Supernatural, this is the first time I've seen mr Richings).
He could make an interesting Doctor, he's very much like Hartnell in this scene, but the Death attitude should have to go - the Doctor must have a sense of humor and love and sympathy towards all of creation.
The level of his silliness is debatable (compare 11 with 9 and with 7 - entirely different), but this speech is fitting the Master, or Rassilon...

@yarner42 Seeing as you haven't seen Supernatural, I'll fill you in. Death isn't all that evil in Supernatural. He is more like a man of the law, because all things must die. He even helped the protagonists one time.

Julian has done allot of sci-fi in his career including the war of the worlds the 2nd invasion tv series in 1988-1990, I Was a Sixth Grade Alien 1999-2000, The Cube , Robocop, universal soldier , The X-men films ect.. Doctor Who would be right up his aisle

COMMENT FROM AN AMERICAN:I can't speak for the rest of the nation, but this fan would, in fact, like to see a more mature Doctor.Was William Hartnell a teen heart throb.And how about Tom Baker.You're saying he sucked?You know, there was another British series, excellent, that started casting to appeal to the glands of its younger viewers.Over here, it was cancelled faster than you can say 'Nielson.'Matt Smith is a fine actor, but television programs must grow in order to survive.

thecosmichobo 1 week ago
He couldn't possibly be the next Doctor. First of all, he's American and all Doctors are British. Second, he doesn't look anything like a Doctor. And three, and that's just my opinion, I'd like to see another young, excentric Doctor.

@thecosmichobo Yeah, well, he still has got that American/Canadian dialect. He looks a bit like the first Doctor, yes, but also he's much gaunter. He seems so unsympathetic, that's just the biggest issue for me
MyComicStyle 1 week ago
@MyComicStyle That (unsympathetic) is likely as his role in this show was as "Death"... :) And again, he was acting in a US tv series, so he's using his North American accent...
thecosmichobo 1 week ago
@thecosmichobo I know which character he played. I saw the entire apocalypse story arch. Maybe it's because of that, maybe not. It's just my opinion, anyway. And, most importantly, do not use the word accent in such a sentence. It's dialect. It's insanely annoying how people keep confusing the two words. An accent is the way a person with english as a second language talks. A dialect is the way people talk english. American, canadian, british, irish, scottish... those are dialects.

@Monkofmagnesia Just a few weeks ago Smith announced to Radio Times that he'd be doing 1 more year, then shooting for Hollywood... confirming the rumours from 2011 that he had ambitions to "make it big" in the States now his career has had the kick that WHO offers.
Nothing against him for that, just his age, and the lead writer. Maybe 2012/3 will make me lament his loss, as you evidently will.

@chaoticprime It's easy to see him as the Master... he was playing an evil character (Death itself!).
But see through that, at what a powerful actor Richings can be...
Or just look at it like this... it's oft been rumoured the Doctor and Master were brothers... so they are quite similar, really...
thecosmichobo 2 weeks ago
@thecosmichobo I think he would play a wonderful Doctor. I think he would play a better Master, however. He can pull off scary, which is a trait sorely needed for repairing the character's reputation. John Simm just did not do it for me, particularly after someone had the bright idea to exclude Derek Jacobi in his favor. Julian made me wonder, "maybe the Winchester's will lose this time," with his performance as Death.
chaoticprime 2 weeks ago
@thecosmichobo I do not want to see the heroes fail, I just want to believe that such is possible. Julian could do it. He could play a man-shaped beast, devoid of humanity, who is driven to be wicked in the same way the Doctor is driven to be just.

After some certain research. One of the major reasons they are going with younger actors on Dr. Who is so in the future unless of a untimely demise, they can do more specials with the orginal actors. Comapired to what they had to do in the 25 years of Doctor Who special The Five Doctors. Having another actor play the role of the first Dr.
freshfarmster44 2 weeks ago
@freshfarmster44 Sorry, but no... They cast Matt Smith, ie younger, simply because they liked what he did in his audition. They were going to cast an older actor until that point. There is no grand plan, just to allow for a multi Doctor story that may or may not happen in 25 years...

Very nicely put together. He's very reminiscent of the first doctor, although he seems much more...cynical than that. I know it's a fake but it would be nice to see someone like this play the doctor as a change from the two young and brilliant ones we've had, and eccleston as the one misanthropic and serious one.
MrPromiscuousBlisc 2 weeks ago
He would be brilliant - exactly what the show needs at the moment, to maintain its integrity. Love Tennant, Smith and particularly Ecclestone (and when oh when will we see McGann in the main game) - but this guy? He's exactly the sort of man we need to reinstate change - rather than a swapping of pretty (though excellent) young things. Great suggestion.

shoptothecaf 3 weeks ago
while I doubt they'd go for an older actor anymore, given the scene of him stepping out of the car, complete with cane and ring, I could _easily_ see him playing a younger version of the 1st Doctor. If they decide to do a part of a story showing how the Doctor wound up at Totters Lane with his granddaughter in the early sixties, say, for a 50th anniversary or something maybe :-), this guy would _have_ to be the ideal choice. He even _looks_ like a young William Hartnell!
timelord70 3 weeks ago
I think this is an amazing video - and its clear to me that you really understand the character of Doctor who - I actually think this should have been the direction the show went after Tennant - given the immense loss that character went through. Unfortunately - the show lost the whole "last of the time lords" thing that made the recent doctors so alluring. I can't imagine this version (or something like it) being made...too risky for the producers...but this would be MY DOCTOR.
