If patrick Stewart played the doctor.

[Stormcall]

Patrick Stewart being cast as the Doctor might finally make Doctor Who a show that's actually worth watching.

[Ivanstone]

If Doctor Who's showrunners really want to fuck with people's heads they should make Michelle Gomez the next Doctor.

Patrick Stewart can play something else. Like Davros 2.0 or similar.

[Jetstream]

Doctor Who is beneath Sir Patrick.

Nothing is beneath Sir Patrick if he thinks it's cool, fun, or hilarious. He was in a WESTERN reenvisioning of King Lear for chrissake.

Blunt Talk

[Wezmon]

He nearly did!

[Moozart]

Let's face it, patrick Stewart has excelled in virtually every role he's played. Would you support it of he was to play the doctor on doctor who?

Captain of the Enterprise, Charles Xavier AND Doctor Who... thats too much for one mortal man for sure.

He's also playing "Poop" in the Emoji movie. So there's that.

[SavoirFaire]

So this isn't talking about him taking Robert Picardo's job?

I'll see myself out...

[looorg]

I don't think it will work. It will clash with his commitments to voice-act on American Dad. Why play "the Doctor" when you can be a the coke snorting sex addicted head of the CIA.

Because he's Sir Patrick Stewart. He can handle it. He's in better shape than you are.

[Orby]

Personally, I'm not a fan of Patrick Stewart's acting.

*gasp*
Noooooooo

I love Patrick Stewart

[3DTyrant]

He is too old. Peter Capaldi is so far the oldest person to take the role (I think he was 56 or 55?) and being the doctor can be very physically demanding.

Isn't he about 58 or 59?

[Deleted]

P Stew can definitely pull off a campy, tongue-in-cheek, not-so-serious show and role. So why not. Although, he's 76.

[Deleted]

A Shakespearean actor as the doctor ?
Yes, That can work.
Patrick Stewart as the Doctor.
Fuck yes.

As the Master ? Oh Shit, Shits got real!
He is an amazing actor, And every single role he plays is done so almost Perfectly (except X-men, with exception of "Logan" I feel he is not at his best)

A really good person who would make a great Doctor, is Graham Norton. That would be fun to watch!

[Bigvizz]

Patrick Stewart looks A LOT better then Capaldi, even while being much older. And Patrick Stewart probably has about 10 times his physique, even while being 77 or so. SO not sure what you're getting at.

Hell I'm 30 and this guy has a better physique most probably.

Yea when I saw Capaldi was only 59, I was like wow he looks 76. He's had a rough life or bad genetics take your pick.

[3DTyrant]

Capaldi? He is now, but I am going by the age they were when they assumed the role

Ah fair enough then, my mistake for not realising that's what you meant.

[Triggered Fridgekin]

I'd even watch that shit show if he did.

Well, technically John Hurt was the oldest to take the role (at 75). And now David Bradley as the First Doctor in the xmas special (also 75). But those are single episode cameos so it probably isn't very physically demanding. Patrick Stewart is 76 now. I think he could've been a terrific Doctor at some point, but I agree he is too old for the part now.

[apepi]

I for one think Hugh Laurie would have done better than Capaldi.
