@4THE PRISONER IN WHO?
=====================
@1
Here's an idle bit of musing that crossed my semi-consciousness today...
What do think of the idea of having Patrick McGoohan play the part of The
Doctor in Doctor Who?
Remember that Pat's got a few years tucked under his belt since we saw him in
things like `Silver Express', `Ice Station Zebra', `Escape From Alcatraz',
`Danger Man', `The Prisoner' and that other awful American series he did...
@3Advantages I can see...
@1
1) He's well known internationally.
2) Even though he's Irish, he's still `British' enough to play the part
convincingly.
3) He's a natural eccentric with a wicked sense of humour.
@3Disadvantages I can see...
@1
1) Viewers will still associate him with `The Prisoner' perhaps?
2) It's returning to the idea of having an older man play the part (maybe not
such a bad idea IMO).
Or what about Patrick McNee as The Doctor, with Joanna Lumley as his athletic
assistant? Nahh, forget I mentioned that last bit! 8-)
