Should the tall skinny young bloke be replaced with a short fat older bloke?
Listening to Simon Russell Beale reviewing David Tennant’s performance of Hamlet on Today this morning, I am reminded of a point I wanted to make on my abortive “memo to Steven Moffat” blog post. That is, wouldn’t SRB make a fantastic Doctor? He would of course be more in the Troughton mould, but that is no bad thing in my view. I just think he would be superb - and fundamentally the kids would love him. What does the panel think?

He’d be interesting. In a similar Troughtonesque vein, and possibly more likely to be considered by the production team and be interested in the role, I was thinking Rory Kinnear.

Sorry - I draw the line at Doctors younger than me. I can cope with policemen and medical doctors, but not fictional characters who are supposed to be 900 years old!
