That crossed my mind... In the interim, he might have nipped off to lay the trail the conspiracy theorist followed... 
It's a real shame they didn't think to stick, say, William Hartnell and Jon Pertwee in the crowd at Kennedy's motorcade, uncommented...

Actually, it's a real shame they didn't do a decent job of photoshopping those pictures. I mean *really*. Anyway, we already know Who Killed Kennedy

My favourite Photoshopped version showed Kyle, Cartman and Stan from South Park in the crowd...
"Oh my God, they've killed Kennedy! You B

Ok Pedantic correction time Sean Bean was 008 in Goldeneye and he was still making the Sharpe series then, Last time I saw him he was play Odyssus in Troy (A Greek King with a Yorkshire accent is a bit odd but there you go)
Scott Bakula will forever be known as Sam Beckett to me and personally he should have stopped at Sam Beckett.
It will take time to see if SMG shakes off the Buffy Tag or whether film producers put her in their films to feed of the Buffy fan base
And the Angel actor (Can't spell his name) what did he appear in after guest starring in Dido's White Flag video
Best of luck to Christopher Ecclestone in whatever he does next 
, maybe he feels Who's not for him

Some actors have successfully escaped a well known TV character. Bruce Willis, for example. Best known for Moonlighting, a frothy comedy, he abruptly became an action man in Die Hard and has never looked back.
Denzel Washington went from St Elsewhere to the movies.
Michael J Fox escaped Family Ties to make Back to the Future.
Perhaps it's only genre TV that has the curse?

David Boreanaz. I just went to look for the clip... Pleasant, harmless sort of song, but the video made me seasick.

Doesn't Moonlighting count as genre then, Jim? I thought it had quite strong fantasy elements?

I notice the original thread title has changed a little in the last few minutes...

I asked Jims if he'd change it to:
'Petition: Doctor Who fans who want Graham Norton to have an inimate experience with a cheese wire'
Sadly the suggestion wasn't taken up

Nah, you were just pronouncing it the way Billie Piper would.

It really has to be changed to something less violent.
The cheese wire thing though...hm still a bit scary. Can't you just use the cushion or the comfy chair on him like the Spanish Inquisition did?

Given a wedgie? A chinese burn? A wet towel slap? Forced to watch the whole back catalogue of Cilla Black on Blind Date (shiver).

How about, 'Doctor Who fans who want Graham Norton to be covered to chocolate and thrown to the lesbians'
I mean, that would be a pretty horrible experience for him, surely?

Forced to watch the whole back catalogue of Blind Date?! 
I'm going to ring Amnesty International if these threats get any worse.

Mind you, take the last two words off and you've got the beginning of the CE version of the PMEB.
