Okay, so as usual we have a poll with everyone's pick of actors to play the 12th doctor. I was thinking of changing the poll to one vote per person, but I think I'll stick with the three votes. So basically if you're new to all this, choose your three favourite options and vote for all free in the poll. Ok, here are the candidates! Idris Elba - Green Lantern Alexander Sidding - Kai "the spy" "Frakes" - Orac Benedict Cumberbatch - Chris3123 Clive Russel - Klaus Alan Davies - auntiehill Jason Statham - Mr. Adventure John Hurt - The Mirrorball Man Olivia Colman - Starkers ??? - P0sitr0nic Simon Baker - Venardhi Adrian Lester - Gov Kodos Rachel Weisz - Borgified Corpse
@ auntiehill Ah right, sorry. I think you may have written it as Sidding on the thread. @Ar Oh so sorry, must no thave seen it. @Ven ? How's that going to work? W...what? I don't, I just don't......understand the concept in general.
I'm not suggesting they cast an actual amalgam of the previous 11 Doctors. I'd prefer an unfamiliar actor for the part, so the face is more about the 'vibe' I'd like to see. Don't worry about it.
Or you just misspelled it, since I didn't mention him in the thread. One tip for these threads: you might find it useful to do a "recap" in the entry thread before you run the poll, in order to catch mistakes. It also allows you one last chance to ask questions if you don't recognize or understand someone's entry. ETA: so glad to see Sid doing well.
Cumberbatch's only two votes behind and there's still more than two days left to vote, so it's not over yet.
I dunno, I think most people where were going to vote have voted by now. There was little to be gained by setting the poll to run for a week IMO.
Congratulations to Benedict Cumberbatch (Chris3123) who won by just one vote! Looks like people still want Cumberbatch was the 12th doctor, but Siddig nearly got it as well. personally, I think Cumberbatch would work a lot better as the Master, he's the perfect adversary for Matt Smith just like John Simm was for David Tennant. Okay, Chris3123, would you like to do the next avatar poll?
Maybe the next contest should have something to do with the missing episodes, considering the recent kerfuffle regarding the rumors of possibly rediscovering as many as 90 missing episodes.
