I want Anthony Stewart Head!

Apparently Jason Flemyng is under consideration... makes sense after Quatermass, I suppose...

When i come to think about it, the other actor other than Sean Pertwee that would make an excellent Doctor is Tony Curran (LXG, Ultimate Force, Underworld Evolution)

Thank you Brad. Folks, I'm still traumatized from when I saw Logopolis in the late 80s, because I had no idea about the whole regeneration thing. It was a very very scary and confusing time, that I'd rather not repeat.

Nesbitt and Davies have already said openly they would turn down the part. Moffatt has said he doesn't think an older actor could work to the pace of the schedule, which rules out Nighy. Personally, I would favour Michael Sheen. I don't think they would ever go backwards and cast a previous holder of the role, ala McGann. His time has been and gone, however you feel about that. For me personally, I think the stakes have been upped by Tennant and he'll be a hard act to follow. I don't see McGann in the same league (sorry, McGann fans). Paterson Joseph would be an interesting choice in this age of the first black President...

This. Is. Not. A. "Spoiler."

No Doctor's regeneration can be a secret. The whole idea is to get people to tune in to see the regeneration episode/serial. The announcement is official and broadcast across the entire Whoniverse.

Here's another "spoiler": The long-running series known as The Election will end on Tuesday, Nov. 4. One of the two main characters will get a promotion.

Darn, did I give that away?

I am now very sad today!

John simms or Billie piper!

Either Bill Nighy or Tilda Swinton would be perfect.

Seriously, how is a story saying David Tennant is leaving Dr. Who not going to involve the Doctor's death. The only way to get the actor playing the Doctor out of the show is to kill him so he can regenerate into another look for another actor to play. Everyone should really quit crying spoiler.
