    Matt Smith is gone at the end of the year[^]. Who'd be good next (love the Bill Nighy suggestion in the comments[^])?

    It will be John Hurt. Maybe. Better would be David Tennant - best Dr after Patrick Troughton.

        Yeah, time to check yourself in when that happens. He'd be good, and I hope he ends up doing more, rather than just be "that other Harry Potter guy" for the rest of his life. I just think they've done the "young Who" enough now. I'd like to see a less action-oriented, Jon Pertwee version.

          A guy who's not too young and could bring some dark humor to the role... Dylan Moran would be awesome (If you've ever seen Black Books you know it would work :cool: ).

            Bill would be awesome - but I guess since he turned it down before, it's unlikely :(

              They covered it in part on Auntie this morning. One Sunday no-news paper seems to suggest that it's time to have a tart in the lead role. FTFAGOC. What's the world coming to if they have to stoop that low to even think of having a woman in the role?:mad: I think I will write a letter to The Times.

              If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

                  It should be Daniel Craig. And David Tennant should be the next Bond.

                      Possibly, fork that for a game of cookers.

                            As Pete O'H partly alluded it's an acronym for : Fork That For A Game Of Conkers. It's a UK idiom that I don't think I've heard anywhere else but it's relatively common here but whether it's "travelled" around I don't know. You'll have to lookup the game of conkers as it's also particular to UK schoolboys; until the the Health and Safety Executive stepped in and virtually outlawed it because of the risk of injury playing the game. As they say about the HSE, fuck that for a game of conkers. ;)

                              When I first saw Matt Smith as the Doctor I was critical of him as the Doctor. However by the end I have come to think that he is one of my favourite representations of the Doctor - he has the eccentricity as well as humanity and humour that I associate with the Doctor :) It will be interesting to see what happens with John Hurt. I know it won't happen but the living person who most represents the Doctor to me and who, if he was an actor, I think would do very well as the Doctor is Neil deGrasse Tyson Wikiti Clickety[^].

                                      I've not heard of the soldiers version. I remember the conkers version from school and I've heard it used a few times since then. I presume you blokes don't live in the UK?

                                      If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

                                          The same county I was at when I was surviving the beatings and buggery at boarding school near Merstham/Redhill. :laugh:

                                          If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.
