[Update] Matt Smith is the new Doctor Who
 

This thread is intended to be a companion to http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/23...l#post34664745.

With the news that David Tennant is to step down as Doctor Who after the specials (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7698539.stm ), who do you think would be a good doctor?

I have to admit, I am not sure, but I personally think that Alan Rickman, David Thewlis or Steve Coogan could pull it off. I also think that Patrick Stewart could be good, but you run the risk that a lot of people would see him as Captain Picard or Professor Xavier playing Doctor Who.

I realise that none of those is likely to happen (they would cost too much).

This is a family forum mate, and I think I speak for everyone when I say that we'd prefer you left your sonic stick out of this :D

Now that I'd watch :D

In all seriousness though.....is there anything anywhere in the back story that says that Dr Who can't be female?

I suppose now isn't the time to suggest Russell ..... oh no I wont say it!

I think Steve Coogan would be an inspired choice.

I think Brand would make a great alien baddy.
