Doctor Baggins??
Hi, I just found this interview with Sylvester McCoy on the BBC website. You need RealPlayer to listen to it...

It turns out that Sir Tom Baker (well, he SHOULD be knighted) wasn't the only one of the Doctors up for a role in Lord of the Rings, he auditioned for Gandalf. Sylvester McCoy also auditioned, for the role of Bilbo Baggins and it actually got down to a choice between him and Sir Ian Holm who eventually got the job. That could have been quite interesting.
What next? Paul McGann as Faramir? Colin Baker as Tom Bombadil?
Peter Davison as Elrond?
Nick Courtney AKA The Brigadier as Theoden????
Adam
The Minister of Chance
"HELLOOOO!!!! I'M BRIAN BLESSED!!!!"
