This would convince me to watch Dr Who

You guys, Helen Mirren just said in an interview that she would like to play the Doctor on Doctor Who. And then I exploded. Wow. Helen Mirren. Doctor Who. With a creamy “wants to play” center.

I don't need that much convincing...it's just that I find the number of episodes daunting compared to the amount of time I spend watching TV by myself...the OH having said he doesn't want to watch Dr Who.

...although come to think of it, he might well watch Helen Mirren do Dr Who.

The thought of Helen Mirren as Doctor Who literally makes me breathless. Her in a leading role for at least, what, 12 episodes? YUM.

I saw her in RED recently (which i think i watched on a plane): her character in the film delighted me.... I'm off to find a film with her in it.... Oh, The Tempest looks good....

I just saw RED recently, too, and loved her acting in it. Seems like she's been playing with action movie roles recently. She totally has the range to do the Doctor.
