HaHaHa ... a ginger Doctor would be awesome. But I also think its time for a black doctor, they avoided it in the EARLY series because back then it really was too controversial, but I think its about time it happened.

I also like Patrick Stewart, and he could do it very well (I saw him in Hamlet playing the King/Uncle-Who-Became-King and he was exceptional at everything which the roles required)

Of course, whoever is picked needs to bring their own thing to the role. Thats part of being the Doctor, you have to mould the character so each Doctor is different. You have to bring your own style to the role.

here's my feeling on it all:

It's just a little something I whipped up just thinking about the Doctor. What can I say? I like my heroes-who-have-lost-everything to wear long brown coats and fight using screw drivers! :)

Thanks people. I don't watch TV news as it's too depressing and too biased (like most UK media).

It is a pity that he is going but I fully understand why. Some people said that it would kill the show when Eccleston left but look what we got to replace him. And Doctor Who has always survived the many regenerations before. Let's hope we get the same type of treat with number 11.

So, David Tennant has finally announced his resignation (by the way, thats not finally as in I want him to leave, but finally as in there's been loads of rumours floating about anyway) and there aren't that many speculations as to who'd be up to play the Eleventh Doctor.

My suggestion: Chiwetel Ejiofor.

Let's face it, he'd be awesome.

Any other suggestions?

Where did you hear/read this officially?
Could you link to or state your source.

I could only find the rumours that have been circulating for ages. He was originally going when Billie Piper left but he's still there. Everyone knows he will quit eventually for someone else to take over. That's the way the show works, but I tend to ignore the rumours.

Funny you should say that - current favorite is PATERSON JOSEPH:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7699513.stm

He's also worked with Stephen Moffat before, so it seems quite likely.

...but I'd prefer Chiwetel Ejiofor (for obvious BDM-related reasons).

Luckily, it seems like Russel Brand has written himself out

(No link, because if you don't know what this is about you're really, really lucky).

Saw the link on Whedonesque to the bookies odds on the next doctor, I think my favourite on that list would be Paul Bettany. Got the quirkiness needed for the role. I like Chewetel, but I don't think he's right for it.

Yeah, saw that list too. Patterson would be ok., quite like him, and I think he'd be quirky enough for the role.

as for the others :-

DAVID MORRISSEY - would be ok I guess, haven't seen him in much.

SEAN PERTWEE - oh yes! seen him in lots, like Event Horizon, got a very distinctive voice and quite quirky personality, would love to see him in the role.

JAMES NESBITT - oh no! too over exposed on tv and very annoying. can't see it.

RUSSELL TOVEY - again, not seen him in much, apart from the christmas special. not sure I'd like to see him in the role.

JAMES McAVOY - hollywood actor now, so doubt he'd do it. indifferent on whether I'd like to see him do it though.

It is a bummer that Tennat will be stepping down. On the other hand, it would free him up for an upcoming, high-profile role that I think he would be perfect for: young Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbitt.

Just my own dream casting, but I think he'd be great.

And my pic for the next Doctor (and it'll never happen, I know), is Peter Wingfield, best known as Methos on Highlander: The Series.

I'm really bummed that David is leaving! I was really bummed when Christopher left as well, but he was only on one season, so now David is the "real" doctor to me.

I just don't want another dork like Colin Baker. Gads I *hated* that version of the Doctor! Didn't watch after that until this new series came on.

The new Doctor absolutely can NOT be James Nesbitt!!!! To me, he'll always be whiny Leo from Ballykissangel. I was so glad they got rid of him on that show!

Davis Morrissey looks more like he'd be great for the Master, but not the Doctor.

Whoever the Doctor is, they have to have the face to be both serious and mischievous at the same time. I don't see that potential in any of the pictures listed for the prospects.

Tennats leaving? NOOOO!! I thought for sure he said somewhere he'd be sticking on for another few seies.

Oh man. He's the guy who got me into Doctor Who, so it'll be hard to see him go. I'll welcome a new Doctor though!
