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.

The curve is more apparent if you stick to realWho.

And individuals age at different rates. Troughton looked older than his years at the time; Davison looked younger than his.

Anyway, we can go round and round indefinitely on this. I think older actors are generally better for that part, for reasons I've already stated. If you don't, that's fine: I don't necessarily expect anyone to agree.
