excerpt as all the articles are the same...

The Glaswegian will lead a motley crew on a voyage across the universe in a new sci-fi series based on the hit Stargate movie and TV franchise.

That move will pave the way for a rival to take control of the Tardis when the next Doctor is announced later this week

Cool. Yes! We hear who the new Doctor Who will be this week? However, I do suspect I'll go "who?" (bad pun) as it will no doubt be an actor from the UK and since not a lot of UK stuff gets to the States except for PBS "Inspector Lynley" stuff, I'll have to research him. Her? Who?

I'd like to see Richard E. Grant.

Who is he?

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

A British actor who has done, um, er, movies. Saw him on a link of prospects. Think you need to go up several comments on this page until you see the link about 'bookies.'

I'll have to look him up:)

Yep. He's brilliant!

He played The Doctor in the Comic Relief special Curse of Fatal Death with Rowan Atkinson in 1999. He was brilliant!
