“Freema Aygeman played a small role in an episode and went on to play his assistant, a different character, so I guess they would again ignore the double casting.”

Yes, and they explained it by stating the previous role was “her cousin”. (Oddly, Martha later wound up working with/for Torchwood)

Alas, the new Doctor is among us.
It’s funny, because I had this idea the other day and sadly, Steve Coogan isn’t the new Doctor. Oh well.

“The top rumour contender seems to be Paterson Joseph, but he played a minor role as Rodrick in two episodes of Doctor Who already. If he did get the gig would they write in that Rodrick was the Doctor tripping over himself in the past?”

There is precedent of an actor playing a role prior to becoming the Doctor.

Colin Baker played Commander Maxil in the story Arc of Infinity. In fact he shot The Doctor (Peter Davison) in that episode.

I wouldn’t count on it being Russell Tovey, Mr Smith(Nice name BTW)… That was Russell T Davies’ choice, and he has nothing at all to do with who the actor replacing Tennant will be. Steven Moffat has stepped up to the position of head writer and executive producer for series five, so this one is his baby.

Personally, I’ll be pleased as punch with either Paterson Joseph or Chiwetel Ejiofor. Don’t get me wrong, I love Tennant. His version, at least for me, is the definitive Doctor. Change is a good thing though, and I can’t wait to see what Moffat and the new Doc have in store for us.

He would be good, kind of got the eccentricity in him, as seen in Survivors and Peep Show.
