McCoy: 'Izzard is the ideal Doctor'
Sylvester McCoy has revealed that he wants Eddie Izzard to be the next Doctor.

McCoy, who played the Time Lord from 1987 to 1989, said the comedian would be the ideal choice for the role when David Tennant steps down.

Teletext quotes him as saying: "I like Tom Baker's suggestion which he made a while back.

"Eddie Izzard would be perfect. He's a bit eccentric and he dresses in women's clothes. Everyone would be happy!"
