How awesome would Bill Bailey be as the next Doctor?

I think VERY

I concur!

Not for a while though, have a bit more Tenant, we like him.

oh yeah, nothing wrong with tennant

but I mean... come on - it would be awesome!

Ugh no! I know he is very popular but Bill Bailey would irritate me intensely as the Doctor, and I don't think he'd suit Moffat's style either.

true... he doesn't really so serious

I'm thinking comic releif special though!

Instead of Bailey they could get the guy who played Bernard Black. With that attitude.

Or both, with a few more people, like in the Time Crash special with Rowan Atkinson and others in it.

I rekon the boosh guys would be good as well

Or Russell Brand! Now there's an interesting choice...

Both Dylan Moran and Bill Bailey would be bad as the Dr IF they were doing their Black Books characters or their stage persona's...though Dylan Morans characters are basically him anyway(he might have a bigger range but I haven't seen too much of it).

Although comedians usually do make good drama actors.

RTD did tend to use his reportory actors, soap stars, comedians and the Pink list.

Not sure what Moffat will do: use his favourite actors or just use actors for the jobs rather than mates.

I do kinda like the idea of Russel Brand actually...

Eddie Izzard, complete with lipstick

Jon Culshaw... no that's stupid

Heard on the radio recently the RTD thinks Amy Whinehouse would be great. But please NO!!!!!

We're keeping DT for a while longer. The longer the better.

Izzard for Doctor!..........Actually, Russel Brand would be rather cool too

They do have a sense of insane-ness about them. Though the Doc has to have that serious quality too.

I think Izzard could do a bit of serious, but I'm not convinced that Brand could.....he'd just be too crazy

Not panicing yet


No, what actually happened was the interviewer mentioned Winehouse and RTD laughed and said that would be a good idea or interesting. He did not give the idea. Subtle difference on journo spin.

However...Noooooooo

Maybe she's already an alien!

Was Winehouse mentioned as the Doctor or as the alien?

Izzard can do serious enough I think, he played a good Reepeecheep (sp?) in the latest Narnia film.
