The Neil Gaiman and Tom Baker rumours are completely unconfirmed (and Rich got the former from heavy hints Gaiman left lying about on his blog) and someone's just naming everyone Moffatt's worked with as a potential Doctor!

(I know Rich. He loves this stuff. He usually gets it wrong)

I think Johnson from Peep Show would be a good Doctor, as long as SuperHans was his companion.

The Baker story... well that's all but been confirmed for Children In Need.

As for my track record, the Martha-back-in-Series-4 story happened, and the Torchwood-Series-3-has-5-episodes also confirmed.

The only person I've reported considered for the next Doctor is Paterson. I'm not The Sun. I'm not just pulling this stuff from the ether.

"If we're going for Peep Show actors, surely David Mitchell is the more obvious choice?"

He threw his hat into the ring a while ago, but also said that he didn't feel he was "good looking enough".

The Tom Baker for CiN is a bit weak, when you were implying it was for the series proper.

And everyone knows the Sun gets its stories from Outpost Gallifrey-as-was.
