This is my take on the 11th Doctor for the 11th Doctor contest over at the Doctor Who Fan Club. Or at least one of my takes. In an absolutely perfect world, Bill Nighy (Davy Jones in Pirates of the Caribbean and Slartibartfast in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) would be the actor to take over the role from David Tennant when the time has come to regenerate. As is depicted, David apparently regenerated in or near Victorian London, and appears to have nicked a police officer's uniform, making him rather congruous with his TARDIS.

Bill would bring back the aloof and strange old man vibe of the Classic Doctors, something that has been sorely missing with both Eccleston and Tennant: the inaccessibility, the alien aspect, the strange eccentricities in both dress and speech. There are few stranger actors at work these days, and Bill is, in my opinion, the absolute best candidate for the role.

I am now starting to send a never-ending string of letters to Steven Moffatt, until he is forced to do as I say. No rest will he get.

What adventures does this 11th Doctor have? Well, he encounters the Mechanoids again, once again in a fierce war with the Daleks. He is captured by Rutans and savaged by Omega. The works.
