British Telly

Luther was great!

First series was stronger than the second imo, but second was still great fun.

Idris Elba is awesome. So is Paul McGann, even though he wasn't in as much as I'd have liked ;p

I think he'd make a great Doctor, but he's probably too well known. My guess is that they'll go for a less well known actor when Smith leaves.

Chris Ecclestone was well known and respected as an actor, but that was needed for a relaunch(gave the draw factor) and David Tennant was kind of known but not massively.

Matt Smith had been in a couple of things but was more or less new to tv.

Now the series is doing well, they'll want to have actors who are less well known than the role.
