I noticed a post on Outpost Gallifrey regarding this snippet of Yahoo news.
I have no doubt that this is absolute nonsense, but think about it for a second. Jason Statham as Doctor Who… A swearier, cockerney Who, who could get all kung-fu on “Zee Daleks”. Presumably he’d have to shag his way through several companions per series too.
It’ll never happen. Thankfully.
And if it were a choice between Statham and Hasselhoff?
That’s a difficult one.
Would Der Hoff insist on attaching a red LED to the front of the Tardis? And reprogram his beloved time machine so it spoke to him with the voice of a slightly camp Englishman?
Thinking about it, watching slow-mo Cybermen running down a beach wouldn’t be far from the carefully choreographed hilarity of previous episodes. Maybe they could remake the dreadful Cyberwoman Torchwood episode with Pamela Anderson…?
Surely someone can’t have taken the Transporter films seriously. Apparently a friend of mine is sort of related to Jason Statham and when he was dating Kelly Brook he made up a great rumour that they would have their wedding reception at our local pub!
The again my friends tend to be ‘bullshitters’ to say the least. Another friend tried to convince me when I was at school that his Uncle had a jet pack.
He’d be an ideal Doctor. More guns, more fights and can you imagine the Tardis chases leaving a bunch of French-like aliens in his wake?
Bring it on!
