So, for anyone who hasn't already found out, David Tennant has confirmed what we've all known for ages, that he is leaving nuWho after the specials. Speculation is rife all over LJ about who will/should replace him: I've commented here and there that someone who is capable of playing the Doctor would be nice. As in older, not a sexpot, damn well upper class British thank you so very much, not prone to sexual entanglements with other species, and able to convey that s/he is not a doormat or a scapegoat. I have had the hangdog look up to here.

We'll see what happens.

I think I successfully suspended disbelief for Tom Baker (though I haven't seen all the episodes by a long chalk - I was out of reach of a TV for a lot of the mid-70s and early-80s!), but I think the rot really set in with Colin Baker.

Baker T was fine as far as I was concerned. Davison would have made a better fist of it if he'd done it at the age he did Campion (38, so not that much older); he'd perfected that "still small voice of authority" thing he does. Baker C didn't get a fair shake due to other factors, but he's grown into the role quite nicely on audio. And again, I was fine with McCoy.
