I got home last night after a very nice reading session by Neil Gaiman at University of Manchester, and decided to watch the remains of the National Television Awards.
After the usual cock-up of Ant'n'Dec getting Catherine Tate's award, David Tennant quit as Dr Who. Good for his agent perhaps; but has he thought about his bank manager in this?
So I have a few suggestions for Dr Who; based on the fact that the BBC is a bit cash-strapped and might have to double up on posts;
1. Michael Palin - the travelling won't matter to him and he won't have to pretend it's all been one long journey
2. David Attenborough - again, can handle the travel and the critters
3. Jonathan Ross - he'll have to stick to the script because Russel T Davies is bigger than him, which should keep him out of trouble. Sixteen grand of license fee to sit on his arse and do nowt! Noooooo.
And if they made every alien planet and race begin with R, so much the better...

now, now. Wossy is suspended WITHOUT pay. That'll really hurt. He might not be able to afford a Bentley this month!
New Who - my favourite suggestions so far are Tamsin Greig, Bill Nighy and Bill Bailey
If James Bloody Nesbit gets it, i'll be setting fire to something
I'm chuffed the little bugger was suspended without pay, but I didn't know that bit when I posted :)
Shame, he'll need food parcels next.
And I've had an idea, why not give it to Catherine Tate? After the big regeneration balls-up, and poor old Donna Noble got her mind wiped, what lovely twist to think he regenerates as her!
Teach 'em to mess around with a redhead's mind...!
