Orlando Bloom the New Doctor Who with Assistant Prila Loof
By James Wray Apr 1, 2005, 6:51 GMT
M&C can exclusively reveal that heartthrob Orlando Bloom will take over from Christopher Eccleston as the new Doctor Who.
Bloom reckons the Doctor's casual garb will make a nice change from the chaffing chain mail he has put up with while filming "Kingdom of Heaven" or all the sandals, sand and sweat of "Troy."
He also sees some advantages in the time travel aspects. He is said to think the Tardis may be the only way he can escape his rabid fans!
Reports say his new assistant will be Prila Loof.

long lives the frist of april!
You seriously think the same orlando bloom who has been in movies such as Pirates of the Carribean, Lord of the rings and Ridley scotts Kingdom of Heaven would seriously even consider this role???...anyway he's filming Elizebethan Town, bothe Pirates Sequals and may be even the New young James Bond...You need some new research's.
Errr, no way will he be playing Dr. Who. Hello??????? He's ORLANDO BLOOM for Christ's sake, not a flipping Holby City actor! Like he'd stop filming movies for this bag of shite. Oh please. He's way better than this. Anyway, like the other reviewer said, he's filming 'Elizabeth Town' with Kirsten Dunst and 'Pirates of the Caribbean 2,' so I highly doubt he'll have time for a low-budget pile of BBC crap. No offence.
P.S: Happy April Fool's everyone :)
And also, you say 'Prila Loof' will play the assistant????? Billie Piper's already signed on for the second series! If you're gonna do an April Fool's joke, do it right!
Well said that person...
Yeah i got a feeling this is an april fools stunt...Youd have to be a bit of retard to believe they would even have the nerve to ask him....Doctor who is for geeks with too much time on there hands...if you like doctor who....get a life
prila----april
loof----fool
Happy april fools day everyone!! I can kinda see him being docor who tho!
Yeah right!!
Claire Gloom - STFU you criticise the April Fool but it had you fooled innit? You nearly spat out your flipping dummy. And Dr Who is not low budget, it is one of the beebs top rated dramas and a flagship show. Chris Eccleston is a far more respected actor than Orlando Bloom who has yet to carry a film on his own.
Well, ya had me fooled...not ashamed to admit it! And it was funny as all get-out!! Thanks for the laughs..YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE'S WHO GOT ME!!!
Excuse me, Fur Q, it didn't have me fooled, and also, Orlando Bloom has carried a film on his own. The Calcium Kid. And, Chris Eccleston can't be that much cop considering I'd never even heard of him before Dr. Who, and I watch a hell of a lot of TV and films. And no, I didn't spit my dummy out. I just thought that if you're gonna do Prila Loof do it right. So there.
And also, it's not just me, so there, tony y is in there with me! Thanks tony for your back up dude!
Hi Folks,
It was just an April Fool story and meant to amuse not offend or annoy. The details regarding Piper staying on for series two were not included for that very reason. Plus I had to get the anagram into the story to make sure no-one took it too seriously.
Next year we will try and do something a bit better.
Ha, Christopher Eccleston is a decent actor im just saying he aint no orlando bloom, Kingdom of Heaven is out next month so i suppose we can see if Orlando is capable of holding the screen without a Brad Pitt or a Johnny Depp. All im saying is Christopher Eccleston is an Ok tv actor but he's never going to be a movie star, maybe he can get a part on Holby city, ot footballers wives? ha
I think Chris Akabusi should paly the role of Doctor Who!!
Claire are you related to Orlando Bloom? if so, please tell him Niel Murphy is his biggest fan.
Chris Akabusi? who's that?
The Great British 200m/400m runner....I also think he had a spell presenting Record Breakers back in the day!! I think he would bring so many qualitys to the role such a good looks and charm!!
I also think Kris Akabusi would make a good Doctor Who, he may also be able to create a wider ethnic market for the show! I think Floella Benjamin would make a good assistant either her or Whoopi Gholdberg
I cant belive that there is some sort of FCKING idiot thinks the real orlando bloom is going to be the lead role in a bbc production... Think about it.
Didnt he also present Gladiators, the one that used to shout 'Aauuuga' before the adverts came on...if so yes i think this would work and it would be nice to see a black play him as hes always a white man...or they could use Dion Dublin, hes playing days are almost over.
Is Mike Hunt your real name? only if you say that in one go it sounds pretty funny? you must have some messed up parents.
Yes that is my real name and no Gladiators was John Fashanu!
Hello Tony Y
Yes that was John Fashnu...., they all look the same though.
NOOOO!! That was John Fashanu!!
Mike Hunt i think you have taken it a little bit too far with Whoopi Goldberg as the assistant....I think her dreads might not suit the role!! I was thinking more Kareena out of Eastenders for the stupid sidekick role!!
Dont call it a 'Stupid Side kick roll' there is one of those Dr Who Geeks that comes on here and he had a go at me cos i said Christopher eccleston was a nobody and that Dr who was rubbish. You'l get an earfull when He gets on here
Apologies!! Mike Hunt do you like men?
Hello '???' why dont you reveal your name? are you scared the readers will know who you are???
mike Hunt, do you lickadickaday?
I think John Crowhurst would be a good chioce for Dr Who? and i think Brian Dowling from Big Brother 3 would be a good sidekick, the first Dr Who Gay kiss??
John Crowhurst....Good Call!! Although he has been missing for the last 5 years...apparently playing Cahmpionship Manager!! I reckon they should make Dr Who adult viewing with loadsa gay kissing involved!!
I think the side kick should be played by none other Anna Walker from the games.
yeah, and they could have like the Dr putting darlek guns inside him and things like that, and all sorts of weird creatures getting off with each other...Dr Who is Rubbish, give me Ant and Decs Saturday night takeaway any day!
I think the doctor should be played by Barry Gibb from the Bee Gee's
Orlando bloom is gonna be at the liester square premiera of kingdom of heaven next month anyone wanna go and dress up a s elves?
This is making me Horny
Yes i like men that look like American Exchange students!
Agatha your right! But I can just imagine Dr Who getting together with soem weird creatures and going down on them.....you know 'taking it to the base'!! It would make it soooo much better!!
Ok i think Agatha is getin a bit caried away here.
Shut up Tony, if you dont like it go elsewhere, no wants you here..
Dont listen to him Mullet, do you cyber?
Agatha i think you need some seriouse mental help sweet heart!
Tony if you have scared off Mullet i will find out where you live seriosuly, im not joking.
Ok this is all getting a bit weird, i was having some sensible-ish banter with a lovely young lady called claire and now iv got some nut called agatha threatening me over someone shes never met?...Did my Barry Gibb coment offend you?
Im being seriouse Tony Y, i dont need this, if just split up with my husband, i meet someone i like and who likes me back and now youv made me look silly, I need to know where you live, im not having this!! tell me where you live!
Ok....normal....
Iv thought of a good new assistant.....Sonia Jackson!!
Mullet are you mocking me? your the one that brought up making it an adult programme, i thought this was what you wanted?
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah haaaaaaaaaa x
i think christopher eccleston is an amazing actor he brings so much character and fun to the role thats why i watch doctor who, i don't think he can be replaced as he is funny and interesting to watch on screen.
