In that list...Danny Dyer? Seriously? What the hell? He would go around headbutting the bad guys and pretend to be a hardman!

 

Colin Salmon has agreed to do Season 2 of Arrow and signed up for season 3 if it got renewed that far, so he is out of the equation

 

Rowan Atkinson would be a good one, as would Lenny Henry.

 

Out of all of the others, Chewetel Ejiofor would be my choice

Spoiler [?]

 

Link: The Independent [ireland] is reporting that the role has been offered and the BBC are waiting for a reply [Report is unconfirmed at the moment]

 

From The Independent's report:

 

...When he was asked about rumours linking him with the Doctor Who role in April, he admitted that he had never watched the programme. “I think I’m being used as a decoy on that front,” he said. “It’s the first I’ve heard.”...

Exciting times. I just hope we don't get the rinse & repeat reaction of all the fans of "Oh he'll be rubbish!" - people thought DT was going to be crap when he was announced - turned out to make a huge impact and everybody misses him, people thought MS was going to be SEVERELY crap when he was announced, turned out to make a huge impact yet again and everybody is sad that he's leaving. I can't process the logic of slating an actor doing a role before the first episode is even broadcasted, but maybe that's me. So as long as those whiners bugger off during the announcement then I'll be happy!

 

Who do we reckon it'll be then?

Capaldi could work, although I think he'd fit better as the Master or a Sherlock Holmes-type character than the Doctor.

 

Then again, I believe the bookies and papers were totally wrong about Matt's appointment, so who knows? (hehe... 'Who' knows? Geddit? :getmecoat:)

Peter Capaldi? No f'ing chance!

 

Seriously can you imagine the BBC giving Capaldi Dr Who? When all the kiddie winks go on YouTube to look at Dr Who's other roles?!

Peter Capaldi has already appeared in Doctor Who: The Fires of Pompeii [which also featured an early appearance by Karen Gillan as a soothsayer]

But not as THE Doctor. That's the issue kids map their childhoods by their first Dr Who, and sadly for Capaldi who is a fine actor the Malcolm Tucker aura is just too much for what is the biggest kids show in the country.

Not sure how good it'll be to keep the younger audience interested - all the Doctor's of the 'reboot' have been young and somewhat aimed at the teen market. We'll see!

As long as he gets lines like he did in The Loop, this'll be awesome.

 

"Listen to me, you f**king flying trash bins. If you Daleks ever f**king threaten Earth again, I'll take those f**king toilet plungers of yours and f**king shove them up your f**king tin-can arses!" Then he turns around and barks, "Well, go on then, Clara, for f**k's sake! Back in the f**king TARDIS!"

I think he will be good, although I take the point about children looking for his previous work online!

 

He is a very good actor and I am sure that he will relish the challenge. It looks like he will be allowed to be Scottish too, unlike David Tennant.

I'm not sure the age of the doctor matters and I really don't think children will notice as long as the character isn't "old" in the way he behaves.
