I know it is a bit of type casting, well his father was a doctor, and anyone outside of Britain well always think of Laurie as a Doctor anyway – House was never shown on terrestrial TV so he is not that well known for this programme here and anyway we’ll always know him as George in Blackadder. But wouldn’t it be a great for Hugh Laurie to be the new Dr Who – just simply wonderful. In fact it is character just made for his comic and acting skills.

Of course it will never happen, well probably not well….I live in hope.
