Season seven of Doctor Who is almost here, and it will likely be Matt Smith's last. So who will play the Doctor after he's gone? It's such a tough balance to strike. The perfect candidate needs to be able to express glee and anger in equal measure. And every-now-and-then they'll be called upon to completely lose their shit. So who will it be? Follow the countdown to find out.
15. Jude Law
Law may be charming and gorgeous, but he's a bad boy, and he knows how to get his sulk on. Known for his precise performances, Law may be able to deliver a perfect line but does he have the natural enthusiasm and playfulness that makes The Doctor, The Doctor? And will he ever accept a TV role? Unlikely.
14. Ewan McGregor
He may have gotten his kit off more times than I'd care to remember, and that's not exactly something you'd want to associate with The Doctor (no, that's for your own imagination. Your filthy, filthy imagination). But McGregor may have that perfect mix of gorgeous, charming and bat-shit crazy that makes the perfect Doctor.
13. Orlando Bloom
There is no way in a million years Orlando Bloom would turn away Pirates in the Caribbean money for a few seasons as the Doctor. But I reckon he might do a good job if he learned how to have a little fun onscreen. Most of his past rolls have been a wee bit intense.
12. James McAvoy
He's almost the right age. He can act. And he can do funny (and down-right gross). Remember him from Shameless days?
