"Withnail" star Grant tops "Doctor Who" poll
Okay, so it's just a harmless piece of "fun", but what planet are the people who vote in these things on?
Only seven actors appear to have been included in the poll, which makes it fairly pointless in the first place, but even so those voting appear to have been pretty clueless. Or Ant & Dec viewers, which pretty much amounts to the same thing.
Have the quarter of "fans" who voted for Grant not heard his appalling performance as the alternative ninth Doctor in the 'Scream of the Shalka' webcast? Whatever the reasons for Christopher Eccleston's departure were, the last thing the show needs is an actor phoning in his performance and just doing it for the money.
With the exception of David Tennant and possibly Bill Nighy, the actors listed are completed unsuitable for the role. Gervais has yet to be proved to be anything other than a one trick pony (and, yes, I do like "The Office") and his arseing about would outdo Tom Baker during the Graham Williams era.
And as for the inclusion of Robbie Williams (let alone his 4th place) - fuck off!
