For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I dont really mind who plays the Doctor ,but whoever gets the role needs to be commited and prepared to join the series for the long haul as he will be the 10th Doctor & a timelord is meant to have 12 lives. I'm glad Billie Piper is staying. Maybe Richard E Grant as he has already played the doctor very well in a web cast.

No no, not Casanova, if anyone from "Blackpool" it should be the main character ( the arcade owner guy). Altenatively Jim Broadbent would be good I think. A real shame about Mr. Eccleston although I think the typecasting excuse is feeble, he must have thought about that before taking the role surely, he doesn't seem totally naive. Anyone care for some jelly babies ??
My only prooblem with CE was I felt he was too 'matey' and normal - all the other Doctors were slightly eccentric (usually with a trademark sartorial style such as a scarf or a bright suit.) I'd prefer the Doctor to be more aloof and have a kind of 'teacher/pupil' relationship with the assistant.
How about Michael French?
And Cockneysi, as an erstwhile Manimal fan I'd vote for your SM suggestion ...
