Hmmm. I'd still go for Miranda Richardson. She needs to be young enough to RUN a lot... Well, Helen Mirren does seem pretty spry for an old lady, and I think the actual amount of running that goes on on Moff Who is surprisingly little (running is filler--no time for it!). But then the shooting schedule and conditions sound pretty ghastly :-\
Oh god, I do love Miranda Richardson, though. She would be a wonderfully quirky Doctor, though in a very different way from MS.
Re. Avatar, then it's one of those shows people regularly flail over. Don't have the time to watch, but have wondered. They do have good reason to. And it does have the twin virtues of being very short episodes (just over twenty minutes) and not too engrossing that you'd not be able to stop watching. Plus it is the rare, rare American show that fits that "family" niche that Doctor Who does: kid-friendly, but not dumbed down. And what skipthedemon and I were saying above about Aang being Doctor-y is entirely true. He's actually very Eleventy-ish, if you could imagine Eleven with the situation and baggage of an actual teenage Chosen One, last-of-his-kind. Rather than a wanna-be teenage Chosen One, last-of-his-kind, lol.
At any rate, if you ever get your three wishes and suddenly have a lot more time on your hands, I think you'd at least have a very good time watching it
