<![CDATA[Doctor Who]]>Archived from the IMDb Discussion Forums — Brian Blessed

Anybody else think Brian Blessed would make a good Doctor Who? I've got a friend who would love him to do it. I've heard he appeared in a episode many years ago, but so what? Colin Baker actually appeared in Doctor Who just before he took over from Peter Davison as a completely different character. He would be a powerful, authorative figure with his booming voice, possibly in a sailor's uniform like Captain Birdseye. With all this talk that David Tennant might quit, we could even start a petition. Much as I respect Robert Carlyle, I just can't see him as the Doctor and he probably won't take the role anyway. It probably end up going to someone unsuitable like a Russell T Davies poster boy. Any comment?

So was Peter Capaldi before he became The Doctor.

He already was in Doctor Who. Kinda weird if he suddenly became the Doctor.
Never say "Worst movie ever" to someone who's seen

His father did live to 99 though!! But I tend to agree, they'll probably keep going with younger actors.

Blessed's nearly 70. The schedule would kill him.
