Your nominations for the twelth Doctor

[DotCommunist]

Thats one facet, one element but not the only one. Remember once upon a time he was the wise old grandfatherly figure.

Its pretty much his raisin detrer rodney

You cite the grandfather figure who has over the life of the show become a young driven man of good works. If the Doctor can change so, from hartnell to davidson AND BEYOND! then wherein lies the flaw in having him female? its known and shown that regenerations are pot luck. Nothing wrong with a strong female lead playing the role imo. It'd need a good actress, sure, but then Who always needs a convincing lead

Well now I have to go and watch Deathrace, thanks for that.

No amount of crap films can cancel out Lovejoy and Deadwood.

Plus, the more I think of it, a Lovejoy mode Doctor would be quite good really. Less omnipotent more charmingly shifty.

Back when men were men and you more worried about himself shedding on the carpet rather than the dog.

 

[Spanky Longhorn]

Anyone mentioned Dylan Moran yet? He might be quite good.

Sanjeev Bhaskar is an interesting suggestion.

 

[marty21]

Haven't read the thread, my nomination is Bruce Forsyth , how many votes does he have now ?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Haven't read the thread, my nomination is Bruce Forsythe , how many votes does he have now ?

For fuck's sake, if you can't be bothered to read the thread... It's been nothing but Forsyth

"I don't want the doctor to be a woman because it would mean his/her personality would change too much, because women inherently have totally different personalities to men, because they are women, and did you know they can't drive lol? And when the doctor's personality changed between someone like Hartnell and Tennant it was okay because both had a cock and balls and... OH OKAY I'M A MASSIVE MISOGYNIST FUCKWIT PLEASE DON'T TAKE THE ONLY THING US MEN HAVE LEFT AWAY." -- a Gromit observed in the wild, earlier.

Great minds etc.

 

[Maurice Picarda]

It's a bit like the ordination of women: the people who take the whole organised religion thing seriously are against, and the theological relativists support it. If you take Doctor Who seriously, you should adopt a reactionary and conservative position by default.

I support Gromit's campaign.

apologies for that and the extra e on his name

Of course. You are socially liberal but inherently conservative. A modern day whig, as we have discussed. While who does hearken to a restoration of order, always, he makes no judgements as to what that order might be. He's times engineer 'Just here to fix this bruv'


You may grow tumescent over his hideous liberalism but in the end the doc would burn the lot if it would bring justice

 

[Sirena]

If she weren't already dead, I would plump for Dame Margaret Rutherford.

I wasn't sold on the idea of a female Doctor Who, but you just changed my mind.

By the same token, Alastair Sim.

 

[Espresso]

Him of the lovely gravelly growly voice, Ralph Ineson:

Blimey. That's a big photo.

Or this chap, Rafe Spall in full manic mode, like the scary bugger he played in that thing with Stephen Rea last year. Mind, Stephen Rea would be an immense choice, too.

If its got to a young posho, then Lawrence Fox must be in with a shout. I know he's decamped to America to make his fortune there, but I haven't heard what he's done since he went.

 

[maya]

peter dinklage

He'd have to wear platform shoes like Tom Cru*se, though...

Why

He's not very tall.

 

[Reno]

He's not very tall.

Is there a rule that he has to be tall ? I'm sure there were a few actors who played him who were rather short.

 

[Dillinger4]

that photo of Ian McShane reminds me of revol68

 

[maya]

Of course not. I was just trying to apply my newfound "humour" mode. And failed.

Still reckon Warwick Davis would be

What about June Whitfield, then?

 

[Sirena]

What about June Whitfield, then?

nice one!

 

[danny la rouge]

What about June Whitfield, then?

I think Annette Crosbie would be better.

 

[spanglechick]

What about June Whitfield, then?

noo - she was awful in the last tennant story. embarrassing characterisation and also very strange plastic surgery.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Now that I've posted on here, I reckon Idris Elba is the wrong Wire actor:

 

[Hocus Eye.]

I think Annette Crosbie would be better.

Well the Beeb have already argued that they need a younger person because of all the running about in the story line these days.

What about Madonna? She is a bit of a Time Lord in her own right. Sadly she has also had a bit of a regeneration of her face so might not be recognisable in the new context of science fiction drama.

 

[spanglechick]

in what sense is madonna 'younger'?

 

[Gromit]

Except the Doctor drives the TARDIS with the handbrake on and his wife is the only one who drives it properly.

 

[Gromit]

A continually pissed on wine, bitter and cynical Timelord?

Nope.

 

[danny la rouge]

What about Madonna?

An American?

No.
