I'm happy with him, He was on my wishlist to play the Doctor when the series first came back, so he's always been popular with me.

If I was able to cast it if they were going for an older Doctor I'd love to see Bill Nighy do it.
If they were going for a younger Doctor I'd go with Julian Rhind-Tutt.
