[QUOTE="sabrinathecat, post: 6115097, member: 89838"] William Hartnell was already recast once for The Five Doctors with William Hurndell. I can't think of anyone I'd recast. David Troughton is the closest in looks to his father, but seems from the episode he was in to be too tall. By a lot. Sean Pertwee does not look enough like his father. Both David and Sean have been approached by Big Finish to imitate their fathers, and both declined. They are actors in their own right, and didn't want to be surrogates for their fathers. BFP Doctor Who Unbound (the "what if" line with different actors as The Doctor) has an alternate 1st Doctor played very well by Geoffrey Bayldon, who could probably do the roll of 1st Doctor if he had a similar wig. One of the Big Finish stories (spare parts) said that 76 Totter's Lane was now a car-park in an industrial area. It would be fun to have the address prominently visible. [/QUOTE]
