THE NEW WHO REVIEW?

Word is that the BBC is going to be returning Doctor Who to the small screen after a ten year sabbatical. No details of the show are available.

The natural question, of course, is…who do you cast? I personally would have been happy with several of the Doctors we saw in “Curse of the Fatal Death,” including Rowan Atkinson and Hugh Grant. Doubtful, however, that either would commit.

So who would I want to see in the role? Y’ask me, only one guy for the job:

Anthony Stewart Head.

He can handle everything from comedy to action to involved exposition. It’s as if Giles has been a seven year warm-up for the role.

Bring in Julia Sawalha, who played the companion in “Fatal Death,” and you’re good to go.

Runner up to Tony Head would be Chris Barrie. But ASH is definitely the way to go.
