Last night at dinner we were talking about who played the best Dr Who. I voted for Harrison Ford, of course, but that's probably just because he was the first one I really watched. Shannon argued that it would have been cool to see Pierce Brosnan play the part, but he was busy doing that weird space opera, Star Wars, when they offered him the role. I don't know what anybody ever saw in that film, everybody knows the UK can't do Sci Fi. They can't even do spies right. Remember when they wanted to cast Alec Guinness as James Bond? I'm glad the studio shot that down. It would have been awful, all weird British accents and stuff. And who can top James Garner's performances, anyway?
The only thing British TV has given us in the last fifty years is a good Western - remember Patrick McGoohan playing Paladin? That rocked! I know it's weird, but they just have a gift for the genre.

So which Doctor do you like best? Palance? Shatner? Ford? Greene? Boxleitner? Hasselhoff? Maybe that kid Wheaton?
