Argus Filch to Play the First Doctor

Sort of, anyway. David Bradley, pictured above in his famous role as Hogwarts’ caretaker, will play William Hartnell in the BBC’s movie about the real-life origins of Doctor Who, An Adventure in Space and Time. Set to air later this year, the TV movie will also star Brian Cox as BBC head of drama Sydney Newman, and previous Who guest star Jessica Raine as producer Verity Lambert.
BBC America has the details, but if they were to do sequels, who should portray the subsequent lead actors?
