...but after Mr. Bradley's wonderful performance as William Hartnell in "An Adventure In Space and Time," I think the official "Doctor Who" fan clubs out there should make Mr. Bradley an "Honorary Doctor"

I have seen a number of professional reviews and fan reviews praising Mr. Bradley's performance and renewing interest in the original "Doctor Who" adventures staring Hartnell.

I think that would be a wonderful thing they could do. i honestly had Mr. Bradley pegged as "stock grumpy British guy." His performance blew me away, so much so that I am checking on some of the Hartnell episodes on DVD which I have not seen.

I think he is helping people to look at Hartnell's work again and in a new light.

I would love the "Doctor Who" community to acknowledge that.

After seeing him in Harry Potter and broadchurch, I was amazed by the range he showed in this movie. I agree! If they have call to pull together many doctors again I would like too see him play the original model. Could you imagine him instead of William Hurt telling David and Matt they were behaving like children?

Now that would be nice indeed. He did I think get more screentime than Paul McGann I suppose. People have actually asked if Bradley may star in a bit of a "reboot" of the first series, and to my own surprise I quite like the idea, not to dishonor Hartnell, but I could just see Bradley as the Doctor in Doctor Who like that, so well. Maybe they could have him fill in a return of the first Doctor in an Anniversary or something... O but that just happened =/ well 55 is also a nice number isn't it.
