Some of the methods of investigation are sort of scientific, and its certainly extremely far-fetched. But I am still not sure I'd call Death in Paradise 'sci-fi'?
Yep, I read that, too. I think he'd be pretty good, tbh.
Is he willing to black up?

I guess she has worn out her recording of his stint on Jackanory.

It's the showrunners job to find and oversee the writers.

Yes he would be excellent.
I am a massive Dr Who fan and am just finishing up the last few Jodie episodes, for the second time, having rewatched the lot from the first Ecclestone.
I think all the boiling piss about every new doctor just doesn't stand up. I was so disappointed with Capaldi first time through, but on second watch - sublime. And I hated Jodie for her gurning, and the right on ness of some stories, but watching it again, it is excellent and timely.
I am confident many of us will turn our noses up at the next incarnation, but I am also confident that on second watch it will be 'OK, I like this'. Capaldi was the first Dr Who after Ecclestone I'd ever heard of so I don't expect to have heard of the successor.
But I wish they'd make more episodes. This is a fabulous 'franchise' and it should be made furiously.
Here is my wish list (noting that I don't really mind who it is as long as it isn't . . .see second list)
Chris Morris
Meera Syal
Ralph Brown (come on!)
Art Malik (would be my favourite - lovely voice)
Aden Gillett
Paul Manderson (can he act? I think perhaps he can)
Sophie Okonedo (although I think she's been in it before as Queen Liz the tenth)
Mawaan Rizwaan (Mrs T's pick but I concur - he's hilarious, and a gay muslim - what's not to like?)
Tim McInnerny. Come on!
Raza Jaffrey (Great in Spooks)
Miranda Raison (Great in Spooks, but too much a straitforward upgrade on Jodie gurner)
Richard Armitage (OK, he was also in Spooks, but what a voice
)
Lenny Henry was in the second to last series. He'd be fine.
Steeve Coogan. Longshot but you just know he'd be amazing.
Robert Smith, but he has to do it as Robert Smith of the Cure, and say 'Love Cats' a lot.
I concur with a previous suggestion: Richard Ayoade
It had better not be any of these:
Any actor currently or recently on Corrie, Eastenderies, Casualty, Love Island, Blanketty Blank
Michael Mackintyre (Mrs T will burn the TV and the house and defund the BBC)
Ant and Dec
Lulu
Ade Edmondson (love his early work, but...)
Rob Brydon (actually....hmmm....perhaps not not)
Jack Whitehall (insufficient gravitas)
Bill Bailey (too tall)
Martin Freeman (too Watsony)
Micky Flanagan (too funny)
Dawn French (no special reason)
Chris Morris
Meera Syal
Ralph Brown (come on!)
Art Malik (would be my favourite - lovely voice)

Mrs T says Zawe Ashton has gravitas
I would absolutely love the former Tardis to get it: suranne jones (wouldn't that be wonderful?)

Steve coogan is a bloody good shout.
He has never sprung to mind as the doctor but now you have mentioned him I can imagine him in the role and he would be perfect.
