He's already been in Doctor Who - sort of.
He was the voice of 'House'.

Re: Doctor Who
Michael Sheen is a great actor. He does a particularly good Tony Blair. However I suspect the only reason he’s topping a poll that’s bound to have been mobbed by Who fans is that he has made two series of a show called Staged with David Tennant, which means a lot of Who fans will have watched it. The first series of Staged was mostly (entirely?) made via webcam during the first lockdown.

Re: Doctor Who
you'll recognise him if you see his face. He has played a few major roles in movies and was in that Amazon series about angels which everyone raved about last year or the year before.

Also with David Tennant. So basically the Who fans want him because they think he’s already best mates with the Doctor.

Re: Doctor Who
Nobody at the BBC will admit it but the only reason you’d go back to the man who successfully revived the show is if you think it needs revived again, which it clearly does. From 2023 we need a regular format and scheduling, more emphasis on adventures in time and space and rather less fannying about with the show’s mythology.

Re: Doctor Who
BBC News - Doctor Who: Russell T Davies returns as programme showrunner
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-58682472
Quote:
Screenwriter Russell T Davies is to take charge again of Doctor Who, the sci-fi show he helped revive in 2005.
"I'm beyond excited to be back on my favourite show," said Davies, who resumes his role as the show prepares to mark its 60th anniversary in 2023
|
I'm glad he is returning. Totally out of the blue as well. No rumours or rumblings. Hope he picks a decent actor for the 14th Doctor.

Re: Doctor Who
Adds to the existing rumours that Olly Alexander might return since Russell T Davies has worked with him before and specifically mentioned he could be the Doctor.

Re: Doctor Who
Hmmmm, Im undecided.
He did a lot right to start with, but then went off on his own agenda, and somewhat ruined a good start.
I guess we'll see how this pans out, another series of preaching to me will see a lot of skipped episodes.
The programme doesnt excite me as it did with David Tennant / Rose, or Matt Smith / Amy.
(or much further back, Jon Pertwee & Sarah Jane/Jo Grant).

Re: Doctor Who
The combination of RTD and Mark Gatiss always delivered. Hey, I may even start watching it again.

Re: Doctor Who
Season 13 (6 episodes) starts on October 31st, the first special will be on New Years Day (2022).
The other two specials will be in the Spring and Autumn of next year.
I wish I could say Im excited, but Im not.
I wish I was upset its only 6 episodes, and three specials, for pretty much the next 2 years, but Im not.
I'll watch them (or at least try to) but my interest is now pretty .... meh.

Re: Doctor Who
They’ve gone for a fully serialised, season-long story for the first time ever. There was a ton of stuff for them to set up and little that was likely to be resolved in the first 50 minutes.
Family all really enjoyed it here - there isn’t much that will keep all five of us in the living room for an hour any more but this did.
And the weeping angels are still the best monster to emerge in the new era.
