Doctor Who 2013

[Tonyblack]

We need an older actor who'll be grateful for the work!

 

[Jack Remillard]

Oh come on Matt, just another ten more years.

 

[Tonyblack]

It's like the last couple of actors. They are very excited at the role to start with and then they suddenly get lots of other roles offered. That's why I worry about Benedict Cumberbach (sp) getting so many great roles.

 

[The Mad Collector]

We need an older actor who'll be grateful for the work!

Now who's available who hasn't been seen in much recently :think:
Tom Baker
Peter Davison
Colin Baker
Sylvester McCoy

The last three of which had all finally worked out who their Doctor was and how to play him just as they stopped doing it

 

[Tonyblack]

Brian Blessed for the next Doctor!

[Who's Wee Dug]

Pardon, I didn't quite catch that.

 

[The Mad Collector]

Come to think of it when did Hugh Grant last do much and he's played The Doctor before

 

[Quatermass]

Jason Flemyng? First Quatermass, then the Doctor.

And then, there's always a man who's wanted to play the Doctor for a long time. Mark Gatiss, anyone?

 

[Bouncy Castle]

I think they've backed themselves in to a corner somewhat, with the casting of new doctors, since there's a awful lot of running involved these days, and an older actor probably wouldn't be able to do that without many a stop for oxygen.

 

[Tonyblack]

I don't think there's been as much running with Matt Smith as David Tennant, but I could be wrong.

 

[Ghost]

I don't think there's been as much running with Matt Smith as David Tennant, but I could be wrong.

apart from Matt's reign is a lot shorter than Tennant's
I think because of Matt's existing health issues with spondylosis in his spine that originally halted his footballing career that the running was limited

He's been a big fan since his teens, apparently.

Good on him.

 

[Quatermass]

Maybe, but he's got a crappy Dalek voice (there's a video on the Doctor Who website). Seriously, I can do a much better Dalek voice on the iAmADalek app, and I'M crap.

 

[DreadfulKata]

Does anyone else here just hate DW under Moffat's leadership? I won't go on about it if not, I'm just curious whether I'm the only Moffat-hater here!

 

[Bouncy Castle]

I prefer him as a writer than a showrunner. Blink was an astonishing bit of telly.
