After listening to THGTG this week I think Stephen Mangan would make a good Doctor. He would bring a quirkiness to his perform that would definitely be his own. Matt is still a better choice though :)

Thanks so much - I did'nt catch that - I think Matt is great & hopefully he will be around for the length of his

contract to prove it:)

It's still on for another week and you could catch up on iplayer, but it only really got good last night there were some really good moments in it though.

Hey - thanks so much for the info:)

Tovey would have been a bad choice for me..too wimpy looking for a start and way too young like matt smith. I always thought eddie izzard may have made a good who as he has a lot of energy and is eccentric without being overly so. Im not really impressed with smith from the prgrammes ive seen him in and the live clips of filming where you can hear dialogue. we'll see but im not hopeful

[SparkyGerbil]

Thanks so much - I agree, we are all too concerned about age, old or young. If you are good enough is what we should focus on:)

Over here in US we are frequently so far behind with the series. Even BBCAmerica is well inadequate for news and televising of the series over here :( but why is it that it seems in UK that youth is considered a negative in respect playing Doc Who. i remember early on when David T. took over that he was said to be too young the same was said about Peter D. i must admit the varied way the Doctor has appeared in series should be embraced. Although i don't ever want to see him as a woman.

I've seen Brazil 10 times (my favorite movie of all time, and my favorite director too), and Baron Munchhausen about 5 times, so I know how great of an actor he is. :)

Plus, he did a great job as the Master opposite Rowan Atkinson in Steven Moffat's The Curse of Fatal Death.

Thanks - I tend not to use Wikipedia, its so unreliable - But Steven is a great writer, i feel he could pull off an effective Holmes tribute:)

[CarlViola]

I have been looking at Steven Moffat's Wiki page he is doing a modern version of Sherlock Holmes with Mark Gartiss and Tintin for the Cinema. However, I feel none of the actors that are doing these could pull of the Dr. There are some good actors but Matt just seem to be the Doctor in the same why Troughton and Baker just are.
