 Doctor Who honcho Steven Moffat might seek an older actor when looking for David Tennant's replacement. "Although I loved Peter Davison and Paul McGann, probably the best two actors in the role, I don't think young, dashing Doctors are right at all. He should be 40-plus and weird-looking - the kind of wacky grandfather kids know on sight to be secretly one of them." Didn't you hear Boston Legal is in its final season? William Shatner will soon be available!

Please do not replace David Tennant. He is the best Dr. Who. My husband and I watch the show all the time. We also think the girl who plays Martha is the best side kick with Dr. Who. David is funny and entertaining and does a great job. We enjoyed him on the Graham Norton show as well. So don't replace him, please.
When is season 5 going to start? I love Dr. Who - but getting really bored and frustrated with all the re-runs!
I just read that Stephen Moffat's quote was from 9 years ago before the revived new series which could have changed his mind on Doctor Who casting. Just something to keep in mind before you place a bet on James Nesbitt...
