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?

At the moment James Nesbitt's name seems to be coming up. He'd be okay.

This is him, some amusing stuff from Cold Feet:



One of my favourite British actors is Stephen Tompkinson, but it won't be him...

This is something from him:

My friend told me Russell Tovey is a possible, which I think is stupid. He already played a character on the Titantic episode and he looks about 15. I hope that actor is just a gross rumor and not actual fact.

The favourite to play Who for some time has been a guy called Patterson Joseph, I did a massive post back when Tennant's leaving was first announced detailing what odds the bookies were giving on various actors.

I know it isn't even a long shot, but sind Dhew just twittered that he's off to the UK for a month, my fannish heart likes to pretend it will be him.

I'm actually surprised they'll make the announcement before airing the Christmas special. It does air on Xmas day, right?

I'm lucky enough to get BBC America, so I get a lot more UK stuff that way. Plus Netflix has a lot of stuff on DVD. I have a hard time watching the mystery series on PBS, because I always end up missing a part.

Hopefully it will be someone good:) They seem to choose good actors so I'm not really worried. I'm hoping for Matthew McFadden even though I'm about 99% sure that will never happen. I'd be 100% sure but you should never say never:)
