I can imagine John Cleese as a sort of time travelling Basil Fawlty...

Who would be the Doctor's Companion for a Cleesian Doctor?

None of the above; Stephen Fry.

Yep - and his Doctor's Companion could be Captain Jack Harkness ;)...

My vote not only went to Alan Rickman, but Alan Rickman playing the Doctor as a cross between Hans Gruber and Severus Snape.

Screw that, I vote for Daniel Radcliffe!  Because fuck yeah.  Also, following the apparent pattern of the Doctor getting younger with each new incarnation...

John Cleese made a cameo appearance in one of Tom Baker's stories.

Michael Gambon was also of course a guest star in the 2010 Xmas special.


I think they should reverse the recent trend of each Doctor being younger than the previous, and my vote goes to Nigel Terry (who was in The Doctor's Daughter but is best known for being King Arthur in Excalibur).

What trend? Matt Smith just happened to be younger than Tennent, who happened to be younger than Eccleston. Saying that there's a trend now would be like saying that there was a trend of the same thing after Pertwee, who was older than Baker, who was older than Davison. It just happened that they were the people hired for the role and not a conscious decision on the part of the show's crew.

Well since we are considering all possibilities how about Rowan Atkinson. I can imagine him as the doctor. In fact I could even show you how he would play the doctor:

So when is there going to be a black Doctor?

Adrian Lester, now that Hustle has finished...

I very much doubt it will be a well known actor. All of the actors you have listed are instantly recognisable household names in the UK, even if they're less famous in the US, and that's not Who's style.

I'd imagine they'll pick somebody we've never even heard of at this moment. Hopefully they'll pull back from the Smith mould and go back towards Ecclestone a bit, even though I like his style I'm losing my patience with all the mugging and wackyness.

I doubt it'll be Cumberbatch either, he's already a bit too famous, plus he's too associated with the human version of The Doctor: Sherlock Holmes. I've already noticed how Moffatt and Gattiss' writing for both shows have made the characters uncomfortably similar in parts, so it would just be weird.

Sure it is. Eccleston wasn't uber-famous before Doctor Who, but he had turned up in 28 Days Later and The Second Coming. He was hardly unknown.

David Tennant was admittedly a little more obscure, but was gaining attention whilst portraying Casanova as somehow being Scottish.

Matt Smith, admittedly, was completely obscure.

Given this trend in reducing age and obscurity, my prediction is that the next Doctor will be a 13 year old homeless, friendless orphan found sleeping on the seating in BBC Wales' reception area.

And Tom Baker was a well-established actor by the time he took on the role.

The new Doctor might not be known just yet but we have the new companion's actress out.
