Funny that, as I was reading through the posts I started thinking that Marc Warren could be an excellent companion...then I saw your post.

I seem to recall we have a habit of thinking along the same lines sometimes, AM.

Now you mention The Vice I do recall him in that! Not seen him in Band of Brothers but liked his cheeky persona in Hustle..plus very nice to look at, especially if you saw the last episode of him naked in London. Phew!

If he isn't tied to another series of Hustle then who knows what RTD and co have in mind for a new companion, if and when Billie/Rose leaves the series. We might just end up with Capt Jack!

Well seeing as he's supposed to be in this series, and had no problems filming 'Hustle' then there's nothing to say that it will be a problem.

Actors can have more than one job. Depends on how long filming takes, and when filming takes place.

I think filming on this series of Hustle took place last year judging by the nice sunny weather in the last episode!

You are right in saying anything is possible if they really wanted an actor in the series but they were committed to another..like with Annettte Badland who filmed Who and Cutting It at the same time.

I certainly wouldn't object to seeing Marc as the new companion though he might get Capt Jack flirting with him every five mins!

I think it will be interesting to see CJ's reaction to the new Doctor.

Do you envisage him flirting a lot more with the new one Den?

I imagine the Doctor's new look will be enough to make Cap'n Jack quite forget to be upset with him for leaving him behind.

Handbags at dawn between Rose and Jack then competing for his affections and attention.

I dread Peter Kay's performance in DW. I just can't stand the guy. Marc and Shirley will be brilliant (I hope)..they usually are. Marc was a great character in The Revengers Tragedy film. I'd like to see the new Doc completely unable to remember Cap'n Jack at all...what a blow to his ego that would be!!!

Maybe the Doctor would get slapped for that

And while Marc Warren comforts the Doctor, he'd pick-pocket his wallet ..

he can pick mine anytime!

You can't have him, DT, Capt Jack And Preston...

I'm waiting for that too...and DT charming him about leaving him behind

I don't know about that! There such thing as rota and that way you can have them on my days off!

edit: tell you what you can have Preston and I get exclusive dabs on DT..deal or no deal?!

Hmmm...I thought I had Preston.

But, yeah, as I quite like that programme now, deal. (This deal doesn't inlcude Marc Warren, right|?)

Not that mad about DT in that way, but I am looking forward to the Doctor meeting Jack again.

Re; another post and crocks of shit, do we actually know if K-9 and Co is really being revived?

I seem to actually know less and less.

We will have to share Marc! So deal or no deal leatha?

Only rumour I heard is that it will be a CBBC programme and will be 25 mins long but could all be a crock of you know what!

Deal.

Does that mean you've won? You seem very keen.

You get the keep K-9 whatever. Affimative?

K9 is now my drinks trolley!

Oh yeah. I forgot about that. Well, I get to keep Jack's leathers then?

I think I shall have to reveal my true identity - the banker!

So - who is for the naughty step and who is for a humiliating £20 deal?

No deal - your carpet is too plush!

Only if they're blue!

It's probably just me but that sounds very rude!

Me too. I only went away for a few minutes and I'm lost. Blue leathers? How disgusting.
