sombrefanThough Alan Rickman would be gloriously over the top and has anyone else heard about this MGM Harry Potter parody movie?
Buffy star favourite to play Dr Who
Mon 17 November, 2003 15:36
LONDON (Reuters) - Buffy star Anthony Head has been voted in a poll of Radio Times readers as their favourite to play the next Dr Who.
Head, who plays Giles in the cult US television series "Buffy The Vampire Slayer", beat Alan Rickman into second place.
"I suppose I would be a logical choice to play the Doctor just because Giles, my character in Buffy, has the same light and dark sides and quirkiness as Doctor Who," Head told the listings magazine on Monday.
Comedians Stephen Fry and Alan Davies were third and fourth and actor Ian Richardson was fifth.
The BBC have not announced who will play the sci-fi legend but British media say Richard E. Grant, Bill Nighy and Eddie Izzard are being considered.
The cult series aired from 1963-1989. It will return to television screens in 2005.

Date: 2003-11-17 09:27 am (UTC)1) Rowan Atkinson: for me, the obvious choice.
2) Eddie Izzard: if they wanted to take it in a slightly different direction
3) Alan Rickman: Not just because he was mentioned above, I've always thought he would be perfect, but he's too big in hollywood.
4) John Cleese: Unsure what angle he'd take, but i'd watch it. I see him more in the confrontational Doctor roll.
5) ASH: Not that I see him as perfect for the Doctor, but it would be a REAL cool gig!
gah
