Other people who think Peter would make a great Doctor Who! I knew there had to be more of us :)

well, rather have him as the Master, but the Doctor's a good placement too.

He would be awesome as the Master too.

agreed.

here's a thought - what was Methos (the consumate survivor) doing during The Year That Never Was?
:D

I've always thought that Val Pelka would make a great Master. And with the Montoya beard he even looks like the old school Master.

Peter is my 'it's never going to happen but I wish it would' Doctor. My 12th Doctor might possibly bear more than a passing resemblence, description-wise... ;-)

What you said. Not at all influenced by the seven eps of Queen of Swords I watched yesterday...

Date: 2008-09-07 07:03 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] fides.livejournal.com
Not at all.

And Helm's declaration that "I am the Doctor" really shouldn't be the base of a constructed reality vid where QofS is the MethosDoctor and the KronosMaster playing dress-up in the desert.

Every time he says that, I start to giggle. That, and all the lines about death. There's a great deal to be said for being easily amused!

Dress up in the desert!! [snorfle]

Mmm yes. Could live with that. Or as the Master.

I'd actually love to see him as Adam Sinclair out of Katherine Kurtz and Deborah Turner Harris' Adept novels, though I'm sure they'll never be adapted for anything (and if they were, they'd probably be wrecked like the Earthsea novels).

Or stick him in Torchwood as Ianto's favourite uncle (the one who taught him all he knows about witty one-liners)...

Oh.my.god! Don't do that to my heart! [g] I'd melt into a little teeny puddle. Sir Adam is my big book crush.

I also think Peter ranks among the most under-utilized actors around. Just MHO. :D

I can see this, as long as there's a shorter shooting schedule than HC. I get the feeling he won't leave the family in Califronia for too long again.

A girl can fantasize :) And at least DW is only what, 12? episodes, as opposed to 50 for Holby.

It's not just the length of the shooting schedule. As I understand it, from writers on Highlander who posted on alt.tv.highlander when I was reading it, Peter had no interest in doing a Methos spin-off even if one had been seriously considered. He'd seen how hard Adrian Paul worked*--and wasn't interested in working that hard.

*Or the lead in any series with a single major protagonist. You're in almost every scene of every episode...for years, if the series is successful. Long days every day for months on end. Apparently Peter wasn't interested in that. Second banana or regular supporting gigs are more his speed.

When he did Holby City, it was a 50 episode a year soap, and he was in England, with his family here in California. It was the lack of time to be able to spend with his family that was the reason he didn't do another year. From all accounts, he really enjoyed the work/role itself. So I think, from what he's said, that as long as it's a role here, he would take a lead.

I've never heard there was ever any serious intent to do a Methos spin off. And certain of the HL writers, from my own experience, I'd take anything they said with a grain of salt. Just my own good for nothing opinion :)

The travel might've been part of his reason too, I suppose, given that Highlander filmed half a season in Vancouver and half in France.

I don't think there ever was a serious intent to do a Methos spin-off. The writers were explaining to hardcore Methos fans why a Methos spin-off wasn't in the cards. Pointing that Methos wasn't universally loved (even if his fans were, uh, fanatical), and that a spin-off of a middling-successful SF/fantasy series would, by definition, draw an even smaller audience--and Highlander was eventually canceled because it's audience shrank every year. That Peter Wingfield wasn't even interested was another reason it would never happen.

Having a school age child now certainly impacts what travel is acceptable, I'm sure.

I don't even watch DW, and I went and joined the community.
