Jack Davenport could probably do a fairly good Peter Davison-ish Doctor.

How cool would it be to go for someone really out there. Derek Jacobi as Dr. Who? He's done plenty of BBC work over the years.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dude. Richard Coyle is the one true Doctor.

Or Richard E. Grant?

Dr. Who should be someone who inspires affection and trust, not someone who inspires one to fire bullets into the TV screen in the hope that at least some will be conducted to the actor himself.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
I love Richard E. Grant! Don't be a Grant-er hater!

Sorry, but he seems to have made it his life's work to inject a contemptuous disregard of others into every role he's cast in, to the point that I can't separate the actor from his characters. He's preceeded only by Pauly Shore and Carrot Top on my "Get the fuck off my TV screen!" list.

Due to gift certificate having - I bought the SFX special edition Buffy magazine?, book? I don't know what it is. It's all Buffy - it comes in this sliding case - there is a magazine-ish thing, and a portfolio (just pics).
Anyway - point: The one thing that is it in that I have never seen before is a complete (and we're talking EVERYTHING) Buffyverse timeline. It counts ever Buffyverse show, comic, book and movie as canon. It goes back to the first Slayer and up to Fray.
I thought I'd mention it because I have always thought about what a pain in the ass it would be to do just one based on the shows and Joss-written comics. And lo and behold, it is done.
It has an ep guide w/ all 144 episodes and recent interviews with the cast and a foreword (very short) written by Joss, as well.

I'll have to pick that up, tina. I've had a project on the back burner delineating the timeline of the Buffyverse for a while now. How much did that SFX special cost? I don't see what the worth of including the comics and the novels in such a timeline, since there are clear violations of canon throughout them. Heck, there are enough problems within each show's continuity to cause problems as it is.
There are very few specific date markers sprinkled throughout the programs. The Halloween episodes are good markers. We have the time and date stamp on "Converstions With Dead People". In "Dead End", the date for the meeting at Wolfram & Hart to announce who gets the promotion can be found when Lindsey breaks into Nathan Reed's computer. And don't forget "Amends" and Christmas. Other than those examples off the top of my head, there's not much to go on.
For some reason, all of this interests me. It's like a puzzle that needs solving. Considering the show's lack of a bible and the writers' notorious failings in math, this may be an exercise in futility, but I enjoy it.
