Doctor Who IV, The Tin Dog Options

[Wife Of Rolex]

I think series 5 will just about finish when Ashes To Ashes does. What's the betting that some tabloid starts a campaign to get Glenister made the next Doctor?

He's too associated with playing an iconic character to play another one. Though that won't stop The Sun declaring it next sunday after the first episode has aired.

Besides, I've already told you. It'll be Rafe Spall.

You wait and see.

[Starscream`s Gho...]

Nesbitt. I'm telling you. Especially if Moffatt takes over as head writer.

I find Nesbitt distracting... I honestly can't think of his as anyone else apart from Nesbitt. When he was playing Pilot in the Passion I was wondering why he is doing such nasty things.

Series 4 apparently only has 2 episodes set in the past. And they go to 5 alien planets.

That's it, I'm writing to the Sun!
As a human, I find this atrocious! How am I, a casual viewer, supposed to relate to Mr. Zog from Planet Zog! I think more episodes should be set on council flats and not childish fantasy planets!

I think the Daily Mail might be more interested in that line . . .

Or Mr Ood from the planet Odd!

After the excellent 'Jekyll', which was bags of fun, I'm all for this. They make a great team, and Nesbitt showed fantastic Doctor potential in his performance. I'd recommend renting or buying it to anyone who missed it. It takes a couple of episodes to warm up, but once it does it's an absolute joy. Moffatt really knows how to write an engaging story, appropriately paced, with scares and laughs. I think his could be a golden age.

I really never thought of Nesbitt in anything like this sort of role until I saw him being half bookish, driven scientist and half rakish superhero - sound familiar?

RTD won't cast anyone radically different - too much is riding on the show in terms of a general audience - we will never see another Doctor past the age of 45, which is a pity really, as I prefered the older Doctors.

Nesbitt woul be a great Doctor. If they wanted someone older I think Derek Jacobi would be fantastic, though that's not possible now.

Anthony Stewart Head or Kenneth Branagh would be interesting Doctors.

Anthony Stewart Head

Probably not possible again, as he was a Krillitane, but then Colin Baker shot Davison's Doctor, so maybe...

Bugger. Forgot that.

Watching The Transporter movies at the weekend made me recall the rumour that went round while back about Jason Statham getting the part.

If only. But the new Brigadeer. There's a thought.

[Starscream`s Gho...]

Can he do posh?

The military has changed over the years. Not a new actor playing the old Brigadeer. A brand new Brigadeer.

[Drifter]

Nesbitt was on some radio show the other week and said point blank he had no intentions of taking the role of Doctor Who.

Rhys Ifans gets my vote

Brigadeers are usually posh, I've met a few.

And they're barmy.

Stath would be too good to be brass, he's more your Sgt Major type.
