Time isn’t a strict progression of cause and effect; from a non linear, non subjective viewpoint, it’s more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly, timey-wimey… stuff. It twists and it turns, and it could have taken a lot of different paths at different points.

Like, for example, with the part of the Doctor. As with any piece of casting, there was an audition process, and a shortlist, and finally an actor was eventually cast – but what if things had gone differently? What if the final choice for the Time Lord had gone to one of the other finalists?

These are the men – and women – who nearly took on the TARDIS…

An article on Doctor Who. Nice little listicle. Always fun.

  1. Hey, interesting opinions about the actors and actresses who could have been the doctor. But Hugh grant as good as Chris eccleston?I love Chris, but think Hugh grant is really bad 😦
