The BBC has a rundown of five actors deemed likely to play the next Doctor. Here’s my take on their picks:

David Tennant: too fey (or maybe it’s just the photo they used)

Bill Nighy: too old

Richard E Grant: too famous

David Thewlis: no opinion (possibly too actory, but Eccleston seems to have done okay)

Alan Davies: could be

And what about my favorite, Eddie Izzard?
