Russell Brand: I want to be the next Doctor Who

Comedian would like to camp up the Time Lord

Wednesday, 10 September 2008

Russell Brand has revealed he’d love to replace David Tennant in Doctor Who.

The comedian, 33 – who has had acting roles in Forgetting Sarah Marshall and St Trinians – reckons he’d be the perfect choice for the hit BBC1 show.

‘I’d make a good Doctor Who,’ he tells the Daily Star. 'I’d camp it up: “Ohhh, it’s bigger in here than it is on the outside – and I’m not talking about the Tardis.”’

Russell has even been thinking about who could play his sidekick.

‘I'd get through a lot of assistants,’ he says. ‘They'd be morphing every 10 seconds, changing like a carousel.’

David Tennant returns as the Time Lord next year in 4 special episodes.

Is this guy out of his ruddy hair? What the bleeding hell's he thinking? if he will be the next doctor, then I'll force him to regenerate back into David Tennant. I'm not having any of this guy in any part of my tardis.

Russell would be a good Doctor Who. There are very few people I think I could stomach as The Doctor after the great job that David has done, but Russell would be one of them.
