Not yet, as far as I know.. The 'Who will it be?' speculation is rife. Personally, I'm arguing for James Masters, but that could be a little misplaced. Failing that, why not ASH?
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

Exactly, Gandalfe.

Who? moi??
I didn't know JM was in the running. I had heard ASH was. Hmmm.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Exactly.:)

I vote for Dame Maggie Smith... she'd have a very similar vibe to William Hartnell, and finally give us a female Doctor like everyone's been specualting about since hector was a pup.

I don't think he is, save in my head, I'm afraid.
I could live with a female Doctor, though, if it can't be ASH (who is, I understand, really in the running). I heard the name Judi Dench mentioned, but I think that may have been in jest.

Even Fox, which thought Eric Roberts would make a suitable heir for Anthony Ainley, knew better than to cast a non-Brit as the Doctor. I think Marsters' chances are slim to none, and slim just left the building.

Well, they've got Judi Densch as a female M, why not give here a go as a female Dr. while they are at it. Although Maggie Smith is tempting as well, and she's got Harry Potter cache.
Or are these names a touch too rarified for the low budget spectacle that is Dr. Who?

I think the time committment for an hour long drama would be the biggest thing. Dench didn't turn her nose up at that romantic sitcom with her husband, so I doubt the prestige of the project would be an issue.
Hmm, if not Maggie Smith, my second choice would be Robson Green. I'd like to see what he looks like in fuddy-duddy dress clothes.
