[spoilers] Richard Armitage

[Skully]

I just read this thread from start to finish - you lot are hilarious! Especially you, kirmostar! I've been giggling like crazy.

RA as The Doctor? That would be awesome - I doubt Captain Jack could control himself! As far as I know the Doctor auditions are a very closely guarded secret (conducted like a silent op!), so I'd take reports of who auditioned with a grain of salt - but you never know! It is hard to imagine RA as the Doctor but I don't think we've come anywhere near seeing RA's full range yet. I think it would be fun to see him play that role.

I always like reading RA interviews, he seems very thoughtful and insightful with his answers. I love that he read Engels in preparation for North and South (being a sociologist, that caught my attention) and a bio on William Blake for Lucas North (a cool detail about Lucas's character, I think!).

And as for the cello, that's my favourite instrument! So beautiful and melancholy. I'd love to learn to play myself but I have dodgy tendons in my fingers, it's too painful. RA playing the cello, good lord, that I would love to see.
