Q: Will they ever make a big budget Dr Who film again and who would play the Doctor The Brain. A: That’s a great question. The Brain has no inside information regarding a big budget film, but it would make good sense right now to do something like that. The programme is on an absolute high at the moment, so who know's, it could happen. But who would play the Doctor, that’s the intriguing bit. When they made those two feature films in the 1960s the part was not given to William Hartnell; instead, Peter Cushing played the mysterious time traveller. So it would be wrong to assume David Tennant would automatically get the part. But , if it does happen, the Brain has in mind two names. First, the obvious choice has to be Tom Baker; ok, the old boy is in semi-retirement but he could be persuaded if the money was right... And as the back-up, the second nomination is Paul McGann - he was brilliant in the 1996 film. |

Gambit
Q: Why did Ecclestone jump ship when the show was on the up and up? The Brain. A: The Brain thinks Mr Eccleston was worried he might become typecast if he stayed in the role for too long. But if this was the case, then it was a big mistake. Peter Davison stayed for three years, as did Patrick Troughton. Both had successful careers after leaving the show. The great Tom Baker stayed for seven years and he has never been without work. The Brain thinks it was a mistake to leave after one season. Why take the role. In fact, the brain has always thought the wrong man got the job in the first place. The Eighth Doctor, the rather excellent Paul McGann was outstanding in the 1996 film. He was the obvious choice. |
