The same reports are claiming that the new Doctor is likely to be played by Anthony Stewart Head, aka Giles from Buffy (and the Nescafe ads).

Sorry guys, but the BBC is saying that it’s [false](http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/doctorwho/news/02070201.shtml).

Which is a real shame 'cos I think they could’ve done good things with it. Maybe we should start a petition or something …

I’ve always thought the Dr Who theme jollied along quite nicely as well. Love a really pumping version of that.

Actually, I quite liked what Moby did with the James Bond theme. Wonder if he might be up for it…?

Tony Head in whacked out hair and a knitted scarf…maybe.
