Doctor Who racebending
I don’t have any specific reason for doing this…well, maybe the thought of Richard Ayoade playing Rory. HOW AWESOME WOULD THAT BEEEEE
Ukweli Roach as Eleven
I watch Eternal Law for this man. He would make a fantastic, FANTASTIC Doctor. He’s got Eleven’s sense of wonder and bafflement down pat. Plus he’s already played an ancient man in a young man’s body.
Antonia Thomas as Amy
You’ve probably seen her as Alisha in Misfits. Like Amy, Alisha is tough, courageous and snarky, and they have similar fashion sense. And similar drop-dead-gorgeous looks. I think Antonia would have made a wonderful Amy- she’s not Scottish, but even so.
Richard Ayoade as Rory
Okay, so you’ve probably only ever seen him as Moss in The IT Crowd, but he’s definiately capable of Serious Acting. In Garth Merengi’s Darkplace (never seen it? It’s brilliant!) all the actors walk a fine line between serious acting and seriously terrible acting, and that takes skill. And, as demonstrated in the picture, he can do adorkable very well.
Sophie Okonedo as River
She was Liz 10 in The Beast Below, remember that? And she was badass and fabulous. Imagine Sophie as River and Alex as Liz. That would be awesome.
What do y’all think? :D

A dramatic reconstruction of the first minute of Eternal Law: *pseudoprofound voiceover as we pan across a twinkly cornfield* Me: Bleh, I’m out. *cut to Ukweli Roach looking ethereally beautiful/dressed suspiciously like Castiel from Supernatural* Me: I’M IN I’M IN I’M IN. I need this version of Who to exist. All these people are amazing.

Hee, thank you! I really liked the pilot of Eternal Law, but it does seem to be failing its potential a bit.

I can’t get over how perfect Sophie Okonedo would be as River.
