That is all. There is no more Doctor Who after Smith if these rules are not followed.

Also, thanks for repeatedly misspelling his name. Good job of doing all that research on potential doctors, but none on past doctors.

I hadn't even thought of that, but he's great. He's ginger, but he's a good actor and not super young like Grint.

Would love if John Hurt actually took the role. Fear that casting a woman or black actor would be feel like tokenism. That said, Helen Mirren would be interesting

I think he is perfect for the part, although he is a Hollywood actor.

She is an absolutely brilliant assistant to Paul McGann's doctor in the Big Finish audios. Anyone who knows enough about Dr Who to know and care whether someone has appeared in a other role previously will know this. Still I would be happy to see her on the screen as the Doctor. Although my first choice by far is Andrew Scott.

Admittedly at 56 he would be the 2nd oldest Actor to debut as Dr Who but who says the Doctor has to run down corridors ??? Maybe it's time the Doctor was more mature for a change. He's used to playing " Oddballs and Outsiders " but that's exactly what the Doctor is 🙂

That has been a possiblity that the Doctor will be a red head. I think Rupert Grint is too young. If he's available I'd say get Damian Lewis. However I think the next Doctor should be the acerbic and bemused Dylan Moran. So far there have been 2 Scots to play the Doctor, time to give an Irishman a shot at the TARDIS console!

1. Benedict Cumberbatch
2. Robert Downey Jr. (for his role in sherlock holmes)
3. Daniel Radcliffe

Anyone agree or disagree?
