The perfect antidote to Doctor Who being on early to accomodate I'll do Anything - How about casting the next Doctor through public voting on a similar show?

Actually I'd better not joke about that, because knowing the BBC...

good that would be awful!! i wouldn't be able to watch doctor who ever again!

Some thick-as-pigsh*t talentless 17-year-old pretty boy would win because all the mums think he looks sweet, while their daughters are texting in going "OMG!! he iz lik well fit innneeee!!!!!1111"

<vomits up intestines at the thought of it>

will someone delete this thread before someone at the bbc reads it please

its dangerous

This was suggested by a few bright sparks previously (myself included) with the working title: "Who's Who?"

oh god.

I think I would 'do a Dervish' and vow never to watch another episode of Dcotor Who if this happened.

god no!!!!!

PMSL!

Oooh I do love the thought of "Who's Who!"

John Barrowman on the panel and Graham Norton hosting

Its so scary-i can see it happening!!

Horrible visions of 'Soapstars' the Emmerdale fiasco are entering my head

The part of the internet this page is on needs to be deleted ASAP. I don't just mean remove the thread, REMOVE THIS VERY PART OF THE INTERNET!!!

for some reason I imagined Withnail shouting that!

what would their tasks be each week to gain our phone calls? running around frantically? memorisation of techno-babble? show an ability to look sad one minute and maniacally (sp?) happy the next? plus there would be a special edition devoted entirely to hair.

There could be a task where like DT did they choose their own Doctor outfit. Pimp my Doctor?

And rather than an exit song after "you are NOT the Doctor", removal of the sonic screwdriver, and a backwards exit up the stairs saying -

What?

What???

WHAT???

Safe bet Eccleston would have never had the job in that case.

LOL The more I hear about it the more I want this show!!

Although I do entirely agree with crazy fox that this part of the internet should be removed.

Because the cheapskate b*ggers are just as likely to actually do it at this rate...

PMSL!! 'I've been screeewwwed out of a chance to be the Doooocccctooooooorrrr'

or a really sad and slow version like when someone dies on eastenders from a long illness and its all piano-y and slow but with the doctor who theme and the loser h as to go "d-d-doctor...*sobs*...whoooooooooooooo *wails* Doctor...whooooooooo"

I wouldn't trust the British public to get their own names right, let along select a decent actor for a top rated TV show.

Proof that you are sick.

Charming hunny, but here isn't the best place to discuss my problems

Guys, please please please leave it here because the more we add to this thread the more likely the BBC will pick up on the idea

Its actually a very good DW story, the fans are creating the sitiuation which will determine the show's future.

Don't worry, I'm sure Mozart321 will negotiate some good terms if they decide to use his idea.
