Who do you want to be Who? VOTE for the BBC's next Time Lord Peter Capaldi will demateralise as the 12th Time Lord this Christmas after four years. Capaldi was cast as Doctor Who by franchise owner the BBC in 2013 but will bow out with a regeneration during this year's Christmas special. Regenerations are always a reflective and throat-tightening event. Thanks, BBC – there goes my …

Oh no ... haven't they already done the "interwining the time lines" bit with Clara and the Doctor + all the "impossible girl" mystery stuff. Got a bad feeling that there's a "look at me, aren't I clever" multi series timey-wimey story arc that Stephen Moffat has been hatching for several years.
While I fully realize your list of choices was presented with tongue firmly implanted in cheek, I must say "None of the above" and plead for Sean Pertwee as a legitimate contender.
What bothers me most is that I really like Capaldi in the role. The odd awful script aside, I've really enjoyed his portrayal of the Doctor and will be quite sad when he departs.
I liked Capaldi a lot. It's a shame the first series he was in was pants, but that's the fault of the writers.
I've only just finished watching Capaldi's first season, and i seriously misread your comment, wondering why he would traipse around without trou for three years.

Read about his brother Micheal, remember Piers Fletcher-Dervish from The New Statesman ? An interesting story.
"Troughton took a break from acting in 2002 in order to care for his disabled wife and obtained a science degree, from the Open University. He then taught Physics at Sir John Leman school in Beccles for two years, before moving to Woodbridge School to become Head of Drama."

Aidan Turner but then she would, wouldn't she?
I don't think the Beeb will go for anyone too old, young, a woman (The Master is already a woman) or any offspring of previous regenerations.
So how about a fantastically versatile and brilliantly bonkers character actor (like all the best ones have been) such as Tom Hollander? Anyone who's ever seen him in anything will realise how perfect he'd be. My worry is that the writing won't do him justice.
