It was only yesterday that I wondered whether the stars of Battlestar Galactica were imprecate to a post - BSG biography of forged persona in minor shows , or whether it was their selection to slum it for awhile and recuperate . And now I may have my answer , good manners of Galactica ’s Jamie Bamber , explaining why he would n’t want to be the young Doctor Who . Bamber told UK site Digital Spy that the thought of following David Tennant terrifies him :
Those would be very big skid to fulfill – if I ’m going to be good it would be very daunting to take on an icon like Doctor Who . It ’s powerful at the magnetic core of British television and to take that on is a big challenge . I call back it ’s a very enviable one for whoever gets it , but I ’m not actively seeking it . I think I ’m too frightened to really require it .
And , just to be open , he ’s not saying that because he ’s hooked on Tennant ’s version of the persona :
I was a huge rooter of Doctor Who as a kid , as I think every child my contemporaries was . It was the only mandatory viewing as a young male child in this country … I have n’t really seen much of the fresh Doctor Who , Chris Ecclestone or David Tennant , although the bits I have seen David Tennant is amazing in it .
