From todays Sun;

Tattooed Amy Winehouse could be telly's next Dr Who, the shows creator say.
Producer Russell T Davies is hunting a candidate to replace David Tennant as the Time Lord star of the BBC sci-fi hit.
Actors James Nesbitt, Robert Carlyle and Jason Statham have all been touted as successors. But Davies said it could be argued the next Doctor should be a woman. And he said "Amy Winehouse would be a great Doctor."
Other females in the frame to take over the Tardis include Dame Judi Dench and former Clocking Off star Lesley Sharp.

Hope this is the usual Sun rubbish, otherwise it's a worry. Statham, Winehouse or Dench would be crazy (and not in a good way).
 

It would be very unlikely for something in the Sun to be untrue.
 

Yeah , I know, thought I'd post it though.
 

Haha.

That came from a Guardian interview. RTD was joking that Amy Winehouse would make a great doctor but it wouldn't happen because it would mean parents would have to explain sex changes to their children, and he didn't want genitalia to be brought into the mix.

That would have the parents 'hiding behind the sofa'.

Where did Statham's name come from though? Surely no-one can think he'd be any good. He's not the greatest actor by a long shot, plus (even if he was asked) I can't seeing turn down films for Dr Who.

hee. I read that too.
It's always interesting to see the hilarious route the Sun takes from actual words said to story reported.
 

Jason Statham can only play one role. I actually like him but he's an extremely one-dimensional actor, wouldn't make a good Doctor at all.

Robert Carlyle's decent though, I think he has the potential to be a good Doctor.

I think Karen Taylor as the frustrated school teacher would make a good Doctor.

I'd rather not. I much prefer Karen. (Counting the hours 'til Thursday)

Was watching the first episode of the new Doctor Who last night. Eccleston was a great doctor, very very different to Tennant - can't see Tennant calling the human race 'stupid apes' or not caring if someone got bumped off because it's for the greater good. Eccleston acts more alien though.
 

I have to admit that It was sad that The Doctor wiped out Donna's memory as she was a great companion and different to the female companion that the Doctor has had in the past. But as this is Sci-Fi, I'm am sure there will be a way for Donna to come back in the future.

For the specials and the fifth series in 2010, I'm hoping for a male companion as it would shake the dynamic between the Doctor and his companion. I am also hoping that the Time Lords return in some form especially Romana and The Rani who I have already cast in my mind.

I have to agree about Christopher Eccleston's performance of the Doctor, his potrayal was slightly darker than DT but still had that spark that makes all the Doctor's incarnation the same.
 

I thought it was sad, because although Donna got on my nerves a bit, (especially those really bad "We're not a couple" jokes. Sheesh.) she had more fire than Rose and Martha, who basically just worshipped him.

Absolutetly. But the Human/Doctor Tennant was a bit the same wiping out the Daleks. Kinda. Eccleston bordered on "The Master" Screaming WHY DON'T YOU JUST DIE! to the Dalek. He wasn't warm and fuzzy but I think perfect for the time period to bring it back...If we;d had the dark storied that Tennant had with Ecclston like killing SPiderwoman or leaving the guys in Pompei to die (I know he went back) It would of been totally different, and I think Tennant is more approachable and definately less alien.

All said though. Eccleston was brilliant! my Fav doctor, and Empty child is a piece of Genius.
