Now that 'the' Doctor has resigned, speculation of who will replace him is rife. Here are a few of my suggestions. If you're reading this, (new showrunner) Steven Moffat sir, you may borrow my top three if you like ...1) Matthew Macfadyen
He was in the first couple of seasons of 'Spooks' as the lovely yet kinda dry Tom Quinn. He's played Mr. Darcy, a couple of movies and can now be seen in BBCs 'Little Dorrit' - a kind of Doctor Who reunion show written by Charles Dickens. he has the look, the (hate this word - overused by Dr Who fandom) gravitas, and I reckon would look good with a long flappy coat!
2) Rupert Penry-Jones
Matthew's replacement in Spooks could be David's in Who. More of an action-man Who. And possibly the sexiest Doctor yet? It's not likely but he has recently left Spooks so you never know. Maybe it's time we had a Doctor who had a (um) bit of a big cock swagger about him?
3) David Thewlis
This guy is already quite a popular choice on Outpost Gallifrey. A bit of a 'traditional' Doctor would be OK after the madcap Tennant. Possibly best know to todays kids as the werewolf professor in the Harry Potter movies. Although similar to Tennant he'd be more quirky and sweet and a little dark.
