I think its a bit wrong to join a show like this if you only intend to serve for 3 series... given the limited amount of timelords they can have!!

Bring back Christopher Eccleston I say!! Whoever they bring in though, get the gits on a 5 series minimum contract!!

Knowing them, theyll find a way to give him more lives...they did it with the master...

Not being a real fan of the new series (nothing like the old ones anyway) I can voice my hatred at David Tenant..making it all camp and fun. Eccleston was much much better...funnier and darker in a better way.

Following the events in some of the episodes this last series...theyre gonna have to stitch some amazing ideas in the next 4 to stop them becoming a farce.

And if youve seen the person playing "The Doctor" in the Christmas episode....hed better not become the official one... cos it looks like it could be ruined.

There was unfortunatly rumors going around on Digital Spy not so long ago that Tennant was going after the 2009 specials, and that the guy playing The Master (John Simm iirc) would be Tennants replacement... I hope not as he was utter shite as The Master imho!!!

Yep I heard that as well, and agree. You can never beat the original Master...

It was a good idea to bring him back, but the story it followed was shocking...

Original Dr Who >>>> Current Dr Who

Eccleston was the best Doctor, was a crying shame when he left... and yes, I watched the old ones and enjoyed them; id say Pertwee was my fave out of the old ones by a mile!!

Eccleston had everything, he could be humorous, but was also very dramatic and mysterious. Brilliant actor, always has been in everything I have seen him in.

OK - I would absolutely love Tennant to stay but at the same time I would also like someone new. It has to happen - this is the very heart of the Whovian universe (didn't realise there were other disciples on here!). Anyway. I would love to see David Morrissey in the role as he was fantastic against Tennant in Blackpool. But it won't happen will it if he is in the xmas special already - shame.
I just hope that RTD never gets his way and puts the lad who played Alonso from sh*t kylie special in command of the TARDIS. I will personally run him down like a dog in the road if this happens.

Come on Mr Moffat - do your best. I'd also say yes to Nesbitt even though its a controversy.

I think Matty should go for it.... Scouse Doctor running round in a Liverpool top and Trackies...Battling Daleks and Cybermen...

Sounds like a recipe for awesomeness

Or....better than that,....


Pomp !!!!!!!!

The Doctors always getting lost in time and Space, perfect Replacement

Pomptastic sure gets my vote!!

But fook, he stuggles to make sense of a pocket calculator, can you imagine him trying to use the TARDIS?!!!

When has the doctor ever been able to work the tardis??

It coould be the first Series to have companions who are possibly more tuned in than the doctor.


"Doctor Look out, its a Dalek !!!"

"Oh.....erm.....wheres my errr.....you know......"

"Sonic Screwdriver??"

"Yea yea yea...thats the one. Chip anyone ??"



Think of the wacky/zany adventures they could all have

OK - let's have a poll.

dr Hilary jones

is my poll actually working?

what about donna? catherine tate after all she is doctor donna? part timelord part human?

Out of them name, Sean Pertwee by far gets my vote, but how about Sean Bean, he would make a great doctor imho, very similar acting style to Eccleston.

Your Poll doesnt seem to be workin...but I deffo agree wuth Seah ertwee out the lot......



SEAN Bean is way to cool for Doctor Who sorry....leave him as Sharpe....is all I can say

an someone please make me a poll with those names in? They are apparently the ones that the bookies are taking bets on. I want David Morrissey. I think the fact that he's there at Christmas is deadly obvious - that its either him or not at all. lol Sometimes they do stuff right under our noses.

done

Voted

thanks joe

voted! but would like to see john simms?

Not a dr who fan but Sean Pertwee is a legend! His part in 51st state tickled me!
