Doctor Who: Goodbye, David

Although I much preferred Christopher Eccleston, I have to say that I will miss David Tennant as Doctor Who when he moves on from the role next year. Which really is a testament to how that bulging eyed lanky actor has made the part his own.

And as for the choice of who should replace him, I hope they cast the net a little wider than this. David Morrissey is the best bet there, but since he has played Gordon Brown I'm not sure he could ever truly be a hero in my eyes. And as for Sean Pertwee... ha ha ha. Having the son of the third actor to play the Doctor on TV is the sort of wanky idea that appeals only to over-excited fans.

As for my choice. Dylan Moran. No, really. Stop laughing. Why you laughing? Seriously, Dylan Moran for Doctor Who. I think he would be awesome.

And I am perfectly happy to be alone in that opinion.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - Richard O'Brien was the best Doctor Who we never had.... (although he'd not be bad as the Master either)

As for the identity of Eleven, well once again it'll be someone nobody expects... Mind you, I'm available if the BBC are desperate - and I'll do it for less than DT!!

I'll go with Dylan Moran: nice chap, drinks a bit...

In these straightened times, I think it's about time we had a permanently-slightly-sozzled Doctor Who...
