Doctor Who returns to TV! And guess who's rumored to be the new Doctor?
Tom Baker, the fourth man to play the Time Lord, told BBC Radio Five Live that the "mysterious and strange" Izzard had landed the part.Posted by rv at October 7, 2003 12:10 PM to sci fi
But the corporation says no final decision has been made on who will star in the TV show when it returns in 2005.
Jonathan Creek star Alan Davies and Richard E. Grant are the bookies' favourites to take the role.
In the interview on Thursday morning, Baker told presenter Julian Worricker that Izzard would bring an "alien quality" to the part.
I think Izzard would be brilliant. Considering the new producer (from Queer as Folk), I'm wondering if the Beeb thinks there's a TV/gay audience out there. :-)
Anyway, the most hysterical thing ever is listening to these outtakes of Tom Baker (Dr. Who #4, named Izzard) doing voice overs for a commercial: http://www.boomspeed.com/kajardine/Tom_Baker-Commercial_Voiceover_Outtakes.mp3"

BTW, it throws me to see "CF" as the author name for your postings-- that makes me think "Chris Fyock", not "Clue Fairy".
