1. I would adore Mr. Ayoade as the Doctor.

But then, I adore Mr. Ayoade generally.

2. And a new companion....

Should be incredible with new writer(s), ideas and a new cast.

Richard Ayoade would be delightful.

I have so many ideas who might be perfect, my favorites appear to be so busy now.

Joanne Lumley in Doctor Who and the Curse of Fatal Death...

This was actually a comedy piece for a British charity TV program called Comic Relief which raises money for projects around the world.

And if you like the combination of Dr Who (in the form of David Tennant) and Comic Relief...

My personal favorite would be Hayley Atwell.
