^ Oh, I thought the whole service had been taken off air a couple of years ago.
That's the trouble isn't it, we don't know the ins and outs of various actors' lives. I think a lot of fans just assume any actor would jump at the chance to the Dr Who...but that isn't really the case for a whole heap of reasons.
I don't really want a female Doctor to begin with but if they do get one, I think she should be at best unconventionally attractive. The male Doctors have never been classic heartthrob types and a female Doctor shouldn't be classically beautiful IMHO. The actress from The Hour was a very good looking woman.
Can't quite think who I would say fit the bill - maybe someone like Anna Chancellor (also of The Hour).

She is but she's also somewhat quirky looking, more so than someone like Lara Pulver. I agree though, a female Doctor could be attractive, but not classically so.
Olivia Coleman it is then...
What about ticker tape?
I heard that too, but someone else has said he might be the new Master....
Capaldi would be awesome but I thought that rumor was squashed. I could be totally off, though; rumors just keep flying.
I think he would be great and a nice change of energy from Smith. But, I would be surprised.
There's not a chance that the next Doctor won't be young and attractive. That's what the character is now and the BBC won't want to risk chasing off the new viewers that change has brought them.
Hmmmm...Matt Smith does a great job as The Doctor, IMHO, and that portrayal gives him a certain attraction, but, physical good looks is non-existent on my list of descriptions for him. He has no distinct features. Tennant, while too skinny for my tastes, was indeed physically good looking, but, Smith certainly isn't IMHO.
Two minutes on the internet will find you many, many, many people who'd disagree.
I think a lot of that is the character, though, as opposed to his natural look.
That's why I said I would be surprised. And I'm not the least bit offended by the BBC being risk averse. It's fine. There are enough young and talented actors out there that someone will work to make the BBC happy and the fans... or actually, more specifically, the majority of the people who watch, not the fanbois who chat on the net.
I agree with you. But I personally know five women who think Matt Smith is the cutest thing since Adonis. They can't get enough of him. "He's so HOT!" etc.
I don't get it at all.
The Capaldi thing seems like it's 2009 all over again. Originally Moffat wanted an actor in his 50's but the role has been changed so much with the last 2 incarnations I can't see them picking an older Doctor. Would I like Capaldi? I think he would be interesting and he has a nice look. It would be a stark change. I certainly like him better than the other guy that's been rumored (Rigby). He's too young and pudgy-looking.
I can't believe the BBC is doing this again. Is it so hard to keep it secret until the Xmas Special? I mean, let's face it, it's not like they're going to be filming the next series until after the Xmas Special, and the Regeneration scene will no doubt be indoors, so how hard could it be to keep the secret?
That said, at least the reveal isn't a year in advance.
