Out of the list in Tom's link, I think I'd like Richard Armitage best. His Royal Broodiness is already established.
ETA: Other than Idris Elba, I mean. If Brits make the movie, I can see it happening. Americans, NSM.
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

If they can't seems to give us a ginger Doctor Who, I see no reason why Bond should overcome that stigma. ::sulks::

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I am always surprised by the anti-ginger sentiment in Britain.

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.
No kidding. I've always thought redheads were awesome and wondered why "beaten like a red-headed stepchild" was even a saying until I found out about the British antipathy.

Is it an anti-Irish/Scots thing, you think? Or even back to the Saxon invasions?

I'm guessing people who were pillaged by the Vikings might have more grounds for an aversion to redheads than we have on this side of the Atlantic.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Ever since Damian Lewis said he was glad to get out of theatre because he didn't want to be "one of these slightly over-the-top, fruity actors who would have an illustrious career on stage, but wouldn't start getting any kind of film work until I was 50 and then start playing wizards[,]" I've not liked him so much.
I'd much rather have Idris Elba as Bond.

I think that if Americans can get over their animosity with the British, French, German, Japanese, etc., the British can get over the fucking Gingers.
Still would rather DL as the new Who, but I'll see him as Bond.
