Titolo: NEW DOCTOR

Anyone seen the new issue of Radio Times - they are suggesting Gary   
Oldman will be the next Doctor in a series of films. Looks like things   
are hotting up a bit in the BBC Camp

Which one?

I've had a cursory glance through the new edition and can't find this, only
the mention of the Daleks' first appearance being a great TV moment.
Whereabouts is the Oldman stuff?

I can't find this in the 24-30 July edition, Dawn; While I wouldn't be
overly optimistic about anything being made, Oldman would be a good
enough choice, so would Phil Daniels or Tim Roth, come to think of it.
Any new Dr Who should follow the guidelines set by Cornell, Davies,
Parkin, Moffatt, Gatiss in that recent DWM piece. We must accept that
there's no real point in excessive use of old continuity, it must go
forward. I'm not so sure about Dr Who coming back as a sequence of
movies, it worked fine as a TV series of serials.
The only way i see a movie working is if someone as good as the Coen
Brothers make it (failing that David Lynch or Peter Weir)- John Goodman
could make a good Doctor (or villain) judging by his great performance
in "Barton Fink."
If there was to be a new series, I'd personally like to see a mix of
Williams-era humour (I think the Doctor and companion set-up should be
similar to the Lalla Ward/Tom Baker one), season 26 quality
writing/production and the weird tone/lyrical content of stories like
The Mind Robber and Warriors' Gate.
So, i'd go for an off-beat drama series, with no reliance on the past
canon, but using some of the best stylistic aspects of the original
series.
As the Doctor in a possible TV series, any of the following would be
excellent IMO:- Paul McGann, Albert Finney, Phil Daniels, Bob Hoskins
(well, judging by Pennies From Heaven).

For my money, the producers couldn't go past Richard E Grant.
As for production, I suggest the people who made the Xena/Hercules series in New Zealand.  I didn't like the hype of those shows, but the sets and attention to detail as well as the computerised effects for a TV series were quite good.
The 8th Doctor story lines could easily be filmed there as a series.  I would like to see someone play Sam as his next companion.
As for continuity with the previous series?  Well a new type of show is in order, but I hope they respect the older series and have some links (eg guest appearances from previous characters/companions)and expand more on the Gallifrey aspect.
Then again - what do I know????????

Paul McGann or Rowan Atkinson would be my short list.
