I've thought black, Asian, a woman is all too far from where we've been, but that still doesn't leave us with a lack of choice. There are some fab actors out there. And if they had cast someone who was a different gender or nationality, I'd still be interested in how it would be dealt with.

My biggest issue with an actor so young playing the Doctor is that there would be many people who wouldn't listen to him, where an older Doctor can at least fake the maturity as he takes over.

That said, I'd hope Moffat would take it way Davison tried to play it - the old man trapped in a young body. That could be really interesting. And a Doctor who no-one listens to because he looks too young could be interesting as well.

But I agree about the middle-aged, weird uncle type. And I felt old when Tennant came in, you young bastard!
