Guess the Guests

[SiHart]

Doctor Who will be back at Christmas and next year. But who will be the guest stars? Here's your chance to make predictions and we'll see if anyone can get close.

As there are 13 episodes, you're each allowed 13 guesses. So go on, guess!

[Perry Vale]

Fun!

Rafe Spall
Daniel Mays
James Bolam
Zoe Tapper
Alexander Armstrong
Julia Sawahla
Denis Lawson
Sam Troughton
Anna Friel
Larry Lamb
Rachel Leskovac
Konnie Huq
David McCallum

Not one of my guesses, but I imagine we'll see Georgia Moffet, and we'd better all panic if they cast Julie Graham!

[Si Hunt]

Celia Imrie
Ralf Little
John Thompson
Jonas Armstrong
Claire Skinner
Wendy Craig
Sue Johnston
Neil Morrissey
Roberta Taylor
Robert Powell
MacKenzie Crook
Viv Corbett
Kellie Bright
Rebecca Front

Who are all these people??? Well, bar a few that I know (Radcliffe, Smith, Walters).

I don't give a stuff who they cast. I care about the characters. They're not exactly defining title roles.

Who are all these people???

They're the creme of UK TV - you just haven't watched Prime enough to recognise the names.

Some of them are like saying Robyn Malcolm in NZ.

Talking of NZ ... I guess with the talk of an international version of Torchwood, I doubt we could ask for Torchwood: Rotorua. No more cracks in Cardiff, this time it's built on an actual fault line that could go at any moment.

Considering how NZ is one giant system of volcanos, it's a bit disappointing to find we're lacking evil geniuses turning them into their secret lair. Unless you count Rodney 'Blofeld' Hyde ...

[WhiteCrowNZ]

David Tennant returns as the Doctor's half human version from Journey's End. Rose has died, and without her calming influence, he has given in to his rage, seeking vengence on the Doctor and reposession of "his" Tardis. He has become the Doctor's ultimate foe ...

[SiHart]

I think:

Imelda Staunton
Martin Shaw
Peter Serafinowicz
Nick Frost
Sir Ian McKellan
Robert Glenister
Celia Imrie
Sarah Alexander
Andrew Sachs
Fay Ripley
Hermione Norris
Chris Addison
Amanda Burton

I can't think of 13 people who haven't been mentioned already?
But I have a horrible feeling Lee Nelson of the excretable "Lee Nelson's Well Good Show" might pop up as a guest. It would follow the pattern of Peter Kay, Mike Skinner (although at least that part required him to stare into the distance tripping off his head?) and James Corden... it's only a matter of time before Lee Nelson pops up.

[SiHart]

You don't have to have a completely new list of people- you van mix and match from the other lists if you want to.

... I started a piece of Who fanfiction about that... no, seriously (except Rose wasn't dead).

...who is Robyn Malcom? (Pleasedon'tshootme)

Have you read/watched Under the Mountain? (re NZ volcanoes).

[Zbigniev Hamson]

I'd be more than happy if not a single person I'd ever heard of featured next year.

[Perry Vale]

So, is no-one going to go for Paul McGann?

[SiHart]

He's coming back?!?!?!

[Perry Vale]

I think he was supposed to be in the last five series according to fan speculation?

[Ian Lethbridge-Stewart]

I think:

Imelda Staunton
Martin Shaw
Peter Serafinowicz
Nick Frost
Sir Ian McKellan
Robert Glenister
Celia Imrie
Sarah Alexander
Andrew Sachs

Yes please!!!!!

[matthewsch]

Actually, partially scratch my first comment, there IS one actor I'd like to see on Doctor Who - Stephen Fry! Oh and Ian McKellan would be awesome, too.

[Awesome Wells]

I don't give a stuff who they cast. I care about the characters. They're not exactly defining title roles.

I don't quite "not give a stuff", but I'm quite in accord with this. I'd be happy to have excellent stories with casts of complete unknowns, providing they were good actors.

However, I understand the necessity for publicity, something that having big-name quality guest stars brings, and so I'd love to see any and all of the names already suggested.

And Natalie Imbruglia. <swoons>
