Hardly. Troughton or McCoy might have been relatively slight, but both the Bakers were well over six foot and very solidly built.Jim wrote:someone that is... physically imposing. I realize that part of the lore of the Doctor is that he appears harmless...
It would only work if he gives the Master a Rock Bottom followed by a People's Elbow.Tsukiyumi wrote:I saw a picture of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson coming out of the TARDIS recently.

Being tall does not make one physically imposing. Tom Baker's #4 didn't seem like he could hurt a fly. Colin Baker's #6 was a technicolor snob. Neither of them would make someone consider crossing the street.Captain Seafort wrote:Hardly.

Which is why I specifically referred to those two, because they weren't just tall but broad, and not Davison and Pertwee, both of whom were also over six foot.Jim wrote:Being tall does not make one physically imposing.
A gentle manner does not make a physically imposing individual less so.Tom Baker's #4 didn't seem like he could hurt a fly.
And notoriously prone to violence.Colin Baker's #6 was a technicolor snob.
So you're not talking about "physically imposing" at all - you're talking about being intimidating.Neither of them would make someone consider crossing the street.
I consider them potentially interchangable. No Doctor has been physically imposing nor intimidating. Maybe I have a different view point because I am 6'4 and "big boned"... It is an overall attitude, look, manner, etc.Captain Seafort wrote:So you're not talking about "physically imposing" at all - you're talking about being intimidating.
Bruce Lee was very intimidating... and he was tiny.Tsukiyumi wrote:Oddly, I tend to be more "intimidated" by short, wiry guys; they're fast. Hard to get in a triangle.
How many of the Doctors have employed direct physical violence, exactly?
The Third, and I'm certain most of the rest got into at least one scrape or two.Tsukiyumi wrote:Oddly, I tend to be more "intimidated" by short, wiry guys; they're fast. Hard to get in a triangle.

I heard Lena Headey's name tossed about recently; that would be interesting.Foxfyre wrote:I wouldn't mind a female doctor I think it would be a interesting switch up for the show.
