    Shame. I'd have loved to see what he could do without Moffat's scripts.

    Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
    JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

    Looks like the only way that'll happen now is with a multi-Doctor Story or a Big Finish Audio Drama (though the latter is probably a ways off)

    Yes.

    So, they're going to be needing a new Doctor, eh? You know, Hayley Atwell's between jobs at the moment...​​

    There've been 2 non-canonical female Doctor's before, so anything's possible

    Not a bad choice but I think Jaime Murray pretty much already played the Doctor when she was H.G. Wells on Warehouse 13.

    I am also very ok with them choosing Idris Elba

    The Doctor's personality and looks change with each new iteration so we could end up with Doctor Frank-N-Furter as Doctor Who.

    I don't know if that particular character would be a good idea for Dr. Who, but Tim Curry would have made for a fun Doctor

    I think he'd make a better Master. The Master can be weird like that (Curry's Frank was menacing as well, but it got lost in the camp of RHPS); it would only work for the Doctor as a comic-relief single episode.

    Also, Tim Curry without that character can get downright scary. Ever see his turn as a villain on "Criminal Minds"?​​

    I found him to low energy for the role, but hey in the line of WHO, not everyone can top the Tom Baker standard

    Hey, here's a thought, how about Damian Lewis? They'd finally let the Doctor be ginger like Ten(nant) wanted in "The Christmas Invasion".

    On the other hand, how about Alexander Siddig?
