The hunt for a new Dr Who? you choose...

So rumour has it David Tennant is quitting the series halfway through series 4.

It was brought up in conversation during NYE celebrations with a few Moshers, but if you had the power to make the choice of a replacement, who would you pick and why?

To make it more amusing, perhaps think of a comedian and why they would be good for the role...

It took me a while to decide I liked either of the new doctors, but once I did, I really liked them, so I'm content to have faith in Russell to pick someone who'll grow into the role like Chris and David have.

I just think it's a shame everyone's so worried about being typecast that they won't stick around for very long

It's a rumour?

Season 4 isn't looking promising anyway, don't panic yet.

If they keep going at this rate he's going to run out of regenerations pretty soon ...

Maybe that's the idea. I doubt they would ever actually end it though. It would make so many fans cry...

Trust Russel? Ha! Haaa! Hahahahahahahaaaa!

You weren't serious, were you?

I for one would love to see another diehard DW fan (an actor, of course) be cast in the role. I seem to recall that David Tennant was a huge fan, so I think it's only fair that another lover of the show should have a bash at it. Maybe make Russel's scripts look half-decent.

Scod would make a cute DW...

Matt King shot an episode about three months ago. I think he'd make a smashing Doc

Here, this should make you happy

Oh, it's only up to Season 3. Why did I think they'd finished 3 already?
It's the third season I meant earlier that isn't looking very promising. There was a promo on the end of the Christmas special. And that's all I'll say on that.

I'd rather they just offer Tennant more money to stay on. Don't know if I really want to get to know yet another Doctor.

If I had to pick someone, what about Chris Barrie? (aka Rimmer from Red Dwarf... or Hillary from Tomb Raider )

I kinda felt the same. Its very dependent on how the relationship with the new companion works. From the parts it looked like there wasn't that spark. But we could all be proved wrong.

That would be the spoiler I was avoiding mentioning.

Probably for the same reason I was thinking it was done. Nothing really to base it on... it seemed right that Season 3 would be done.

I wouldnt call that a spoiler though. We all know the Doctor will have a new companion in the next series. And with that comes apprehension.

No, not everyone follows the series that religiously. Given the nature of the show it was not impossible for Rose to be back for Season 3. I didn't know for sure until I saw the trailer for the new season...
So yeah, it's a spoiler.
