Re: [NEWS] Danny Dyer (Eastenders) wants to be Doctor Who

It would at least continue the trend of the last two awful
choices as the Doctor. Danny Dyer (previously in the soap
Eastenders) is a hopeless "actor" - everything role he plays
is exactly the same, including when he hosted a silly game
show. He's certainly got the "mental" part right though. :-\

He's currently in "Mr Bigstuff" on Sky which is supposedly quite
popular... from the trailers I can't see why, but my son thinks
it's hilarious. I'm not sure the BBC would go with a
cockney-type geezer that would be more likely to head-butt an
alien or strangle it with a West Ham scarf than try and talk to
them nicely into leaving Earth.

Danny Dyer Angles for Doctor Who Lead:
I'd Be Alpha, Working Class and a Bit Mental
--------------------------------------------
With uncertainty over Billie Piper's role in Doctor Who,
Danny Dyer has thrown his hat into the ring.
 
The former EastEnders star said he would bring something
entirely different to the show if given the chance.
 
He also acknowledged the challenges that come with the part
in the most Danny Dyer way possible.
 
"I know it's hard work, and some of the dialogue he's got,
he's got big monologues, talking about shit you don't
understand."
 
Well, he'd certainly be a contrast following Ncuti Gatwa.

It doesn't really matter who the Doctor is these days if
they are going to be given scripts that mean all they do
is go around preaching about this that and the other ... on
top of all the technobabble... and then get emotional every
time something bad happened to somebody.
