Peter Davidson. I reckon he could play the Doctor. Not too busy these days either. |

Hmm Peter Davison..an interesting choice, what makes you think he could be a 'Doctor', I mean isn't he a bit old by now? Has he had much involvement with Sci Fi in the past? |

I couldn't believe that Carcetti was the lead gay bloke from Queer as Folk. Talk about a bit of a different role! Dominic West would be a little too gritty, perhaps? then again, he used to be in The Catherine Tate Show, so he'd have the right contacts if nothing else. What about Idris 'Stringer Bell' Elba? |

'cording to wikipedia: 1. First Doctor - William Hartnell: (23 November 1963 – 29 October 1966), 2. Second Doctor - Patrick Troughton: (29 October 1966 – 21 June 1969) 3. Third Doctor - Jon Pertwee: (3 January 1970 – 8 June 1974) 4. Fourth Doctor - Tom Baker: (8 June 1974 – 21 March 1981) 5. Fifth Doctor - Peter Davison: (21 March 1981 – 16 March 1984) 6. Sixth Doctor - Colin Baker: (16 March 1984 – 6 December 1986) 7. Seventh Doctor - Sylvester McCoy: (7 September 1987 – 6 December 1989 in the series, and 27 May 1996 in the Doctor Who film) 8. Eighth Doctor - Paul McGann: (27 May 1996, in the Doctor Who film) and in the BBC Radio 7 Doctor Who series.[10] 9. Ninth Doctor - Christopher Eccleston: (26 March 2005 – 18 June 2005) 10. Tenth Doctor - David Tennant: (18 June 2005 – 2010[11][12]) So he's been doing it longer than most. Except the lazy 8 and 9. |

Curiosity wrote: I think there'd be uproar if it were a woman, Lave! Aye there would. And rightly so to a degree. I actually think Dr Who is really important, as I said before, because he's a continuation of the English Gentleman Hero. Which I think is an incredibly important figure. Pro-Science, Secular (the Dr being pretty much an all out atheist), bears no heed to fanciful explanations, Rational, Non Violent, Humanist. Stiff upper lip and all that.* I think it's wonderful that is the traditional British Hero: The civilized force walking into chaos without a weapon, but bloody well going to sort it all out. I mean compare that to the traditional american hero, cowboys and john mcclains who shoot there way through any problem. It's wonderful. So whilst a woman can play that role, it would have to be the right woman who really understood the shoes she's filling. And franckly there aren't enough good role models for boys that aren't american super hero style people, so I would much rather the Doctor stay a man. * My ideal man! |

Because there are plenty for girls? I totally agree with the main bulk of your point, but that just seems a bit of an odd statement. Not at all. It's just that there are so many violent role models aimed at boys, that a pacifist role model has more need as a counter weight to them. That and girls have already got the really rather awesome Sarah Jane anyhow. That and the Dr is a role model for both sexes anyway. I just think for all the batmans and supermans and Ben 10s and so on it's nice to have a non-violent male character. Which is very rare. My GF is a primary school teacher and she talks about how the boys go through phases of playing as the Doctor and then Spiderman. I'm glad the Dr is there for the counter balance. My only issue is that because it leads to lots of female companions - which could create the impression that women are only ever 2nd in command or something. But again the SJA have worked against that a lot. Of course on the flip side, having a female Doc shows that sex doesn't matter - so that could work too.

It was because it failed on the one thing it was supposed to deliver. Back to the Future certainly wasn't a bad film, but if it was advertised as a survival horror I'd be pissed off. |

“There is one actor being hotly tipped to take over at the moment, and if I’m right it’s just a case of crossing the Ts and dotting the Is with someone who has been in many a blockbusting film, and, well I daren’t say more, but you’ll be surprised. Keep watching.” Not only are the news sites cruising BeeX for their articles, now people are stealing our funnies. How long before MTV's BurtTank's Best Friend hit's the airwaves? |
