Your nominations for the twelth Doctor

[SpookyFrank]

Failing that, Alan Carr would be fucking hilarious

Why? He's about as funny as cancer in everything else he's done.

 

[thriller]

Idris Elba has been mentioned a fair bit, but I reckon his profile is a bit too high at the moment and he tends to play roles with a macho, hard-man vibe to them that the Doctor really shouldn't have.

Yeah defo too high profile. His agent probably has more an eye on America I think.

 

[ViolentPanda]

by which you mean adrian lester i guess. could have just said his name.

He was well pants in the pilot of Being Human.

 

[thriller]

Gays and women of certain age seem to find Alan carr funny.

 

[Corax]

Patterson Joseph - again! He'd make great Doctor.

He'd be good. But even better would be:

Failing that, then:

or

(These suggestion may vary in their sincerity...)

 

[snadge]

Why do people want a young Doctor Who? All these suggestions are pups.

 

[kittyP]

Would they have a Dr without sex appeal in this day and age?

Russell Tovey, Sue Perkins or Rowan Atkinson (over-pronouncing everything)

I would love Sue Perkins.
Well I do love Sue Perkins but I meant I would love her to be the next Dr

 

[kittyP]

He'd be good. But even better would be:

Failing that, then:

or

(These suggestion may vary in their sincerity...)

Dylan Moran would be good but James Cordon can fuck off and die!

 

[PandaCola]

As it's a BBC show, I expect it will be Sue Perkins or Miranda

 

[Corax]

Dylan Moran would be good but James Cordon can fuck off and die!

Hence my closing sentence...

I think Dylan Moran would be fucking amazing the more I ponder it. I initially thought of Chris O'Dowd as a joke, but actually I'm now not entirely sure...

 

[Santino]

Dylan Moran would be shit.

 

[spanglechick]

Hence my closing sentence...

I think Dylan Moran would be fucking amazing the more I ponder it. I initially thought of Chris O'Dowd as a joke, but actually I'm now not entirely sure...

unlike idris elba, chris o'dowd has a proper, active, hollywood career. not going to happen.

 

[fen_boy]

David Walliams.

 

[Maurice Picarda]

Oh, piss off.

 

[killer b]

Gays and women of certain age seem to find Alan carr funny.

you're doing well on this thread.

 

[spawnofsatan]

Howard Marks, he could use a sonic spliff.

 

[Quartz]

I'd like any of Sean Bean, Alan Rickman, or Morgan Freeman.

For an outside choice how about Lawrence Makoare?

 

[SpookyFrank]

Yeah but Alex Kingston is really annoying. If I have to listen to her smugly calling people sweetie and coyly saying 'spoilers' every week I shall kill myself.

She was terrible in that season finale, but the writing didn't help. She's a digital copy of herself stored in the core of a planet somewhere, but also projecting herself into events via a psychic link to Clara's brain which only works when Clara is asleep except it doesn't because Clara is awake and it still works. So despite being effectively a figment of the imagination of someone who is no longer in the room, or indeed on the same plane of reality, she can still walk about monologuing and the Doctor can still see her and touch her.

It then turns out he's been able to hear her all along, apparently since before there was any Clara to become a figment in the imagination of.

 

[Corax]

Dylan Moran would be shit.

No he wouldn't.

 

[SpookyFrank]

But while we're naming people who obviously aren't gonna get the part, how about Brendan Gleeson?

 

[Maurice Picarda]

Morgan Freeman would be rubbish. I've yet to see a sensible objection to Gary Oldman, though.

 

[Corax]

Porridge.

 

[Cloo]

Paterson Joseph played the Marquis de Carabas in "Neverwhere".

I totally fancied the Marquis. <3

 

[Santino]

No he wouldn't.

Yeah, he would.

 

[thriller]

Morgan Freeman would be rubbish. I've yet to see a sensible objection to Gary Oldman, though.

gary oldman? DW would be a come down. his too hollywood

 

[thriller]

I'd like any of Sean Bean, Alan Rickman, or Morgan Freeman.

For an outside choice how about Lawrence Makoare?

are u being stpid? morgan freeman? yeah, like the beeb could afford an a list hollywood celeb.

 

[Corax]

Yeah, he would.

Wouldn't.

 

[Quartz]

Doesn't stop me wanting to see him in the role, though, does it?

 

[captainmission]

oliva coleman. although i'm not sure what moffat would do with a female dr. She'd probably be forced to flirt with herself.

 

[PursuedByBears]

Definitely Paterson Joseph. Or if he's busy, Jimmy Cliff.
