11th Doctor Casting announcment tommorow

So speaking of casting.... ;)

... who do you think would make the best 12th Doctor: Jim Steele or Starkers?
 
Not me. I don't do running. Refuse. Point blank. If something requires me to move faster than walking pace, then I'll find something else to meander towards.

That and I have the charisma of a sloth, the acting ability of Liz Hurley and all the charm of an exploded pimple.
 
Well by the time Smith departs I'll probably be knocking on the door to my mid forties--perfect age, but this would probably be my last chance! I'll start taking acting classes now!

Jim, since you don't like running about, would you consider a role where you had to sit down the whole time and keep one hand constantly out of sight? ;)

Hmmm. Yes...

Yes. To weild such power, to know that life and death on such a grand scale was my choice. To know that I could extinguish every last living cell in the universe at the slightest whim... Yes! I would do it! That power would set me up above the gods!

And through the Daleks, I SHALL HAVE THAT POWEEEEEER!

That would be my issue. If I were the Doctor I'd not be good in an emergency. I'd also be the first to have a beard - I'm not shaving for the BBC. Though accoding emails I received after my fake news piece on my blog (born out of frustration over all the new Doctor Announcements - the last straw being David Walliams) I'd bee fantastic in the role. Sadly I just replied with a 'you're all morons' blog.

Speaking of which... I'm at the BBC today. Every time I'm there I fight between the need to act professional and the geeky need to have a pohto taken with their TARDIS.

I remember being trapped with fans on a trip home from a show. One of them kept rambling about why they should make Torchwood: Glasgow... and why I'm perfect to play the Scottish version of Jack. I don't know whether that was a compliment or if he was calling me a slut.

Yeah about a year ago I had a meeting at the White City offices and spent half the time wondering how I could nip downstairs to chck out the Dalek they had on a lower floor...I was too chicken to just ask! :(

Still there was the old school Dalek left outside the BBC offices here in Nottingham that I got to photograph at least :techman:

It's frustrating... the fanboy wants to get out :devil: The last time was infuriating though as I was waiting in reception for a costume fitting a few days after they put a Dalek next to their TARDIS looking for just that right moment to go take a pic. It was right in front of me... taunting me

There was a moment where I was just about to do it, but Jaimie Winstone walked in which made me less tempted to make a tit of myself.

Though today I suppose I could use the "We need a PR shot, how about right here in front of the TARDIS?" A suggestion to be made after I get paid...
 
lol the BBC have a Matt Smith drama coming soon

Moses Jones, a vibrant and thrilling drama set in the heart of London, stars Shaun Parkes in his first leading role for television. Moses Jones is writer Joe Penhall's first original series for television, following his award-winning adaptation of Jake Arnott's novel The Long Firm (also for BBC Two).
Parkes heads up a cast of new and established talent which boasts Matt Smith, who was recently confirmed as David Tennant's replacement as the 11th Doctor Who, Eamonn Walker, Dennis Waterman, Indira Varma and Jude Akuwudike, and introduces newcomers Wunmi Mosaku and Obi Abili.
The story, told over three one-hour episodes, begins when a wave of violence hits London following the discovery of the bizarrely mutilated body of a man in the Thames. First appearances suggest a witchcraft killing, but the dark reality is more complicated – and even more frightening.
Assigned to the case are young hopeful DS Dan Twentyman and his senior partner, DI Moses Jones, seconded from Scotland Yard due to his supposed cultural links with the local African community. Confronted with a wall of silence, Jones and Twentyman become increasingly frustrated, but all roads lead to Joy, her friend Solomon and the Afrigo Club, where the ex-pat community goes to unwind to the irresistible music of Solomon's band.
As the search deepens, the violence escalates and the investigation grinds to a halt. But one name crops up again and again – Mathias Mutukula, a mysterious godfather figure rumoured to have both terror links and supernatural powers. Forced to ask himself tough questions about his cultural identity, Moses embarks on a frightening quest to track down his man and redeem himself before the community implodes ... or takes revenge itself.
 
Wait ? When did they cast Philo as the Doctor ? :confused:
