1. Emma Thompson
Her Companion: Hugh Laurie Hugh Laurie could be the Doctor but he could also be the companion. He's that good. Hugh Laurie has so well recognized in the eyes of the public that I barely feel he needs an introduction. As an old uni-friend of Thompson's I feel he would fit right in to the vibe any show whose cast she lead. Her Master: Jennifer Saunders Same age, same hair colour, same comedy-based past. Who would dream of faulting my in-depth analysis? Jennifer Saunders was detestable as the Fairy Godmother in Shrek, if she could bring the same energy to the Master then Britain would love to loath her for it. Her Doctor Emma Thompson is a complete legend. Actor, Comedienne, Writer, Oscar, BAfTA and Critic's Choice award winner If there's a job in TV or film Emma Thompson can do it better than you. If Emma Thompson had turned around in the final scene of 'The Name of the Doctor' it would have been just as awesome a twist. Emma Thompson brings class to even the most mind-numbingly awful properties (Junior starring Arnold Schwarzenegger anyone?) and would do just as much for the already wonderful Doctor Who. Thompson has proven herself to be massively versatile from portraying another Time-Lord Nanny McPhee to one of the most definitive Elanor Dashwoods on screen, Thompson could effortlessly turn her hand to the greatest part in British Drama.
