I don't have an "ideal" doctor, but I agree with Moffat's comment a few months ago about there needs to be a grandfather-like feel to the actor. He/She doesn't necessarily need to be old, but needs to have a personality that conveys the age of the Doctor. I'm going to need to be won over by Matt Smith.
Names I would throw into the casting hat for the Doctor include:
* Stephen Fry
* Jack Davenport
* Bill Nighy
* Rowan Atkinson (I know he's been the Doctor before - kinda - but he could be similar to the Patrick Troughton's Doctor)
* Jonathan Rhys Meyers
* Robert Carlyle

I would love to see David Tennant in a Full Monty sequel, but I think they did it in period dress and called it Casanova.
