For those of you reading this on British shores, you might recognise Daniel Rigby as the student in the BT adverts, or the main character of one of Charlie Brookers Black Mirror episodes about Waldo the foul-mouthed political bear (yeah, you read that correctly). For those of you reading this any place else, youll possibly have no clue who this guy is, unless youre a big fan of Morecambe and Wise. This is because Rigbys most famous role was in the Victoria Wood-penned Eric and Ernie, chronicling the formative years of the seemingly forever middle-aged duo. He absolutely killed in the part of Eric Morecambe, able to wring pathos out of situation one moment before clowning around in an avuncular style the next. Such character beats are vital in the Doctor, who, lets not forget, is first and foremost a childrens TV character. This role could also function as Rigbys second big break his tour-de-force as Morecambe saw him beat out the exalted company of both Benedict Cumberbatchs Sherlock and Smiths Doctor for the BAFTA Best Actor gong, but it can be argued that his career hasnt caught fire as it shouldve done afterwards. A role of the Doctors status could provide this man with a platform to showcase his talents, because lets face it, you dont win a BAFTA unless youre very, very good.
