Classic 'politicians response' from BC when asked if he would like to do an episode of DW..
"Not an episode, no..."
So that would be The Master or The Doctor then..

Oooooh Benedict as the Doctor! Yes please!!
No, he's the Rani!!!
If he's got time to be the Doctor, or be in DW at all, he's got time to do more Sherlock episodes.
He should be concentrating on that.
Lets face it he's Khan in Star Trek 2, is that not a bigger role than The Master
SPOILERS! :mad::D
How about maybe the 15/16th Doctor, you know, when he's got bored of playing Sherlock
He has also said that he would never take on the role of the Doctor because of the childish stigma and around-the-clock publicity that comes with it - something I think Tennant (and now Smith) are having to cope with, as with Cumberbatch and Sherlock.
Moffat has also said that having Cumberbatch play the Master would be a bit too 'obvious'.
I personally think he won't ever find the time or the urge to have a role in Doctor Who nowadays. Too busy, too famous and too 'above' it.
I'll second that. If he gets the job I won't be watching anymore. Its bad enough now (mind you, now that Jenna-Louise Coleman's in it instead of Emo Gillan it might improve).
He is not allowed to ever get bored of playing Sherlock. He will be playing Sherlock until he is 85! And Moff & Gatiss will be still writing it. Or else!!
I think he would make an amazing Doctor. But I want him to be Sherlock!
I'll third it, although not the Gillan bashing :mad:
I agree 100%
I am hoping for an improvement too so I can start enjoying it again, fingers crossed.
Hang on, he is really Ricardo Montalban????:eek:
No....but I believe they're going to CGI the chest on during post production. 3D.
Bad enough now? Emo Gillan???
Why watch if its "bad enough now" ?
Cumberbatch is a fantastic actor and Ms Gillan has improved greatly. You are entitled to your opinions of course and if they were right id agree with you.
Emo Gillan? Have you ever see an interview with her? She's not remotely 'emo' :rolleyes:.
Haha! Love this post and totally agree.
The Doctor can regenerate lots of times, apparently. He said so in SJA. (I can't remember the exact number. 67? 93?)
I don't want them to scrap either. But if Moff can't do both he should concentrate on Sherlock.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRTiKG04ios He can apparently regenerate 507 times. A number completely not plucked out of thin air.
I do remember seeing an interview with Moff and the cast (I can't find it now, but IIRC it may have been the one where he first mentioned the Ponds leaving). Someone asked him what they'd do once they got to 13 regenerations and his answer (slightly paraphrased) was: "We'll follow that age-old tradition of Who - we'll make something up."
I concur with everyone else. I know "everyone's entitled to their opinion", and of course they are, but this is like saying 'I prefer to read books when all the pages have been covered in ketchup' - you're just wrong.
(Before the thread explodes, I Am Kidding ):D
With Lara Pulver as his assistant?
Ah... he's going to get etheric beam locators, like Jonathan Price's Master?
