If 13's going to be female and I absolutely think they've been pushing it that way for a while (Clara as the Doctor's stand-in, Missy, the General), I really hope it's after Moffat's gone because IIRC the man has got some major league issues writing female characters. On the other hand I dread them making a Doctor defined mostly on her sex appeal, which is what happens with a lot of female action leads. Sigh.

I'm infinitely more worried about what Chibnall might do. Remember. This is the man who thought Cyberwoman was a good idea.

Which is why I was eliciting names of actresses who were at least 30 years old. Many cool suggestions in this thread. A 22 year-old girlie girl in a crop top as the doctor would be basically unwatchable.

CommonShore posted:Just for fun thought experiment - middle-aged British or Irish actresses who own and who could carry the role in a fresh way? I'd like to see Lesley Sharp as a female Doctor. I feel like she'd be more than capable and it would bring things nicely full circle, as she first came to prominence through working with Russell T Davies. Actually, thinking about it, she has already "played" the Doctor, in a way. Ha, I just discovered she had an early film role acting opposite some Scottish bloke.. I'm starting to think Capaldi is the Kevin Bacon of British drama.

Cynical though I may be, I have a feeling that sex appeal will inevitably be an element of it if a female Doctor is cast - they're going to be thinking, at least to some extent, "Okay, guys, we know you've got doubts but give the new Doctor a chance - she's nice to look at, isn't she?"

Tim Burns Effect posted:Tamsin Grieg She was even already in Tennant's "The Long Game" episode with Simon Pegg! And the subtext for her wanting that face of course would be putting vaginas in the heads of all the annoying dork fans like her character did to Adam. It all works out. ...And she can rescue Manny from that dreadful Narnia Christmas special and Bernard can come by and drink all the wine and she can listen to the Fisher King do the shipping reports on the radio and it will be just like in my Doctor Who/Black Books fanfic...

There are so many dreadfully terrible women working in British television (my girlfriend watches a LOT of British cooking and reality shows) that I'd be worried who Chibnall would choose. What I really want is some insanely ballsy casting. Like two midgets in a long coat.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsjgkgMpW7U Big Finish's rendition of the Torchwood theme is way better than the TV show's version. I do hope we get a full-team-audio at some point though, these one-offs just feel wrong.

I'd really like it if they could use some of Murray Gold's music in the Big Finish audios. Things like the Gallifrey leitmotif and the UNIT/Dalek themes would be nice.

If we're blue-skying talent, how about Cate Blanchett? Great actor, solid nerd cred, beautiful and chock a block full of gravitas. Unless Aussies don't count. She lives somewhere in Sussex now, though, so that should be good.

If we're having fantasy casting, Judi Dench from somewhere in the 1990-2000 range. If we want to stick with the standard male casting, James Callis.

I'm curious, is there any truth to what I heard at some point that the actors that played the Doctor in the Curse of Fatal Death were all considered for the role in the 1996 movie/intended remake? I just ask because Rowan Atkinson would be a fantastic Time Lord. More the Master than the Doctor, but he could pull off playing any of them.

Rowan Atkinson was interviewed back when it was supposed to be an American TV reboot, with the Master and the Doctor brothers and the Doctor leaving Gallifrey to try and find their father, the Master having become Lord President. Also Borusa was their grandfather, and Borusa's spirit was trapped in the TARDIS in a sort of Zordon sort of way I guess
