Animal Olympics

It's the Bank Holiday!! Darren and I had an all nighter, then he went into work today. What a Man.

As I type, we've been Tweeting and Facebooking. I've been developing my idea of the Animal Olympics I had at Cath's Wedding on Friday in the Lakes. 

Yes, with a few Warsteiners (and hopefully some voddies to come), I give you,

This is the new Doctor Who - Number Eleven... Curtis Stigers.

Oh, it's actually Matt Smith. Who hell he?

Now once you get past the fact that he looks like a fight between Nicko McBrain (the drummer out of Iron Maiden), Herman Munster and a fan of My Chemical Romance, PLUS getting your head round the idea that's he only bloody 26, he looks like a good choice. A bit emo, so that will keep the fangirls happy, not exactly a pretty boy and reportedly a good actor, plus he just looks a bit odd, and you need that. 

The only problem I've got now is that Tennant is so enshrined as the Doctor he's almost irreplaceable, in the same way that Tom Baker was back in 1981, or on a different slant, Brosnan as Bond. Daniel Craig didn't look like a Bond, and in some ways still doesn't, but the 007 films now are a great deal different from Pierce's time, and so Craig fits the newly defined role like a glove. Doctor Who's return in 2005 was very much a different beast to that which was dumped back in 1989, and Christopher Eccleston didn't look like right as a Time Lord, but his portrayal was so defining that you couldn't at that time see anybody else playing the Doctor as well as him. AND then along comes Tennant...

What am I trying to say? Well in the tradition of the Lock-In, I haven't a bloody clue. All I'm saying really is that Smith will be a Doctor... THE Doctor, whether we like it or not. Welcome to the TARDIS.
