    Tom Baker had that scarf, Christopher Eccleston had the leather coat, could be that we are due for someone with waistcoats ............

    They could do an episode where the entire British population is forced to dance continuously by some evil other-worldly power, and DB as Dr. Who has to teach them all to tango passionately in order to defeat the invading force

    Was very upset when I read this in the Metro this morning. What I don't understand though is this:

    The BBC confirmed that the actor will complete the filming of four special episodes to be screened this year and in early 2010 as well as next year's Christmas special.
    Russell T Davies, executive producer of Doctor Who, was quick to remind fans that Tennant still had five spectacular hours, and a suitable ending, left on our screens.
    So, he's got almost another 18 months to go, but only 5 hours of show. So does that mean that there are only going to be "special" episodes next year and no series? Or there will be two Dr Who's running in tandem? Or is he coming back as a ghost at the end of next year?

    Re: Waaahhhh!

    hmm I wonder just who could play the new who?

    David Morrissey ?
    James Nesbitt ?
    Rhys Ifans ?
    Simon Pegg ?
    Colin Firth?
    Pete Little?

    no wait.. scratch that last one.. he'd constantly lose his sonic screwdriver.

    A suggestion on BBC Breakfast was Sandy Toksvig. Interesting.

    How about a woman (together with a nice bit of eye candy for the girls as an assistant) ?

    Yep, Xmas special, plus 4 1-hour specials through next year. They'd already decided a while back to give the series a bit of a rest.

    I reckon the new doctor will be a relatively unknown actor - not someone already well established.

    No, no, no. I'm not a Who geek (I just live with one) but surely someone different is what's needed.

    Someone old and unattractive would be a good start, someone really posh, maybe a woman.... As long as they're different from the last two and most especially not the type of Doctor that an impressionable young assistant would want to snog.

    How about Charles Dance? Or Mark Strong? Somebody who doesn't look like their favourite pastime is counting jelly-babies.

    Bernard Cribbins was brill in the last series. He's been appearing in Dr. Who longer than anyone else - he's earned it!

    Anyone who suggests a continuation of the Dr. Donna will be exterminated
