A question of priorities

Please let this infinitely more important story replace all this tedious Russell Brand nonsense. But who can ever replace him? Obama? McCain?

Sounds more like a job for Fred Thompson. Fred 2010!

In answer to the question, "Can we travel through time and save the universe one alien invasion at a time and have hijinks with a variety of companions of varying attractiveness?" Obama says, "YES WE CAN!"

My top choice would be Brian Blessed, but I'd watch Cherie Lunghi

I vote they replace him with Andrew Sachs.

Hm, yes, he might have to work on that bit, I'm not sure it's very IC.

This will be my first 'real-time' regeneration (I only saw 'Parting of the Ways' after the end of S1), and I'm wibbling already.

Tom --> Davison was my first time.

He'd be great at all the stunts.

Somebody explained the tedious Russell Brand story to me yesterday at work as I have totally failed to be au fait with the news this week. However, I can now forget about yet another story in which men think that sexual harassment of women and their families is some kind of daring taboo breaking and comedy gold, and concentrate on the important business.

*concentrates*

*utterly fails to come up with definitive answer*

*suspects that it is very unlikely to be Michelle Gomez*

I like this theory. (OK.,so they're already wrong about 2010...)

(And check out the clip from "Neverwhere" described as his 'audition video' (he's the Marquis de Carabas): oh yes, I could see that working.

Particularly since I'm told Neil Gaiman is going to be writing for the next series (wow).

But hey, just about every rumour about Ten's identity turned out to be wrong, so odds are this one is too...

I'm not a fan of Paterson Joseph, I'm afraid. I find him far too mannered a performer. I know other commenters on this thread think very differently!

I quite fancy the idea of Lawrence Fox, who you may have seen in Lewis, playing Lewis's sergeant (and Morse-in-waiting), Hathaway. (He also happens to be Mr Billie Piper...)

But really I want Sid.

I WANT AN OLD WRINKLY GREY-HAIRED DOCTOR I AM TIRED OF MY SCREEN BEING FILLED WITH CHILDREN.

(Hmm. I should make more icons of teh elderly.)

That's the third vote for Andrew Sachs, then?

[identity profile] gair.livejournal.com 2008-10-31 11:48 am (UTC)(link)
A PRETTY OLD WRINKLY GREY-HAIRED DOCTOR. (I actually have never seen Andrew Sachs outside of Fawlty Towers; maybe he is pretty now? ::googles:: ::hits computer for only showing pictures of Russell Brand, if I wanted to look at pictures of Russell Brand I would google Russell Brand, wouldn't I? Electronic moron:: Ooh! OKAY I WILL ACCEPT YOUR SACHS. Actually I was hoping for Christopher Lee, though. SARUMAN FOR EL[E]VEN!

Definitely not John McCain then!

YES! PLEASE! SID! SID! SID!

It's a long time since I've seen Neverwhere. Thanks for the link to the clip!

Neil Gaiman - now that should make an interesting episode.

I really wish they'd let him wear the leather headband Sheelagh Wells made for him. It would have been great. If did become 11, maybe they'd give him one for that.

Nope, not me guv. I had to google him to find pictures, and they don't tell me enough to know whether or not I'd think he was ok. I got all excited when they told me he was Cecil in Room With a View but it was the 2007 version, which I didn't watch after reading stupid comments from the producer in an interview which clearly showed that the producer was missing the point.

So no help there then.

But anyway, Sid. If we say it often enough, Moffat will hear and obey, I am sure. Sid. Sid. Sid. Sid. Sid.

Sid.

It's ok. Paterson is busy because he's playing Avon in my re-casting of the new B7.

His female companions better watch out...

[identity profile] altariel.livejournal.com 2008-11-01 10:56 am (UTC)(link)
He's going to be in Merlin! Now that's surely a reason to watch?!
