Perhaps worth noting that six of the seven 'Original' Doctors were all better known as comic actors before they boarded the Tardis (Colin Baker is the odd one out). The first three went even further, starting as stand up comedians!
So I think Atkinson could fit right in. He has the right pedigree.
Stephen Fry also has the personality to go with it, but I would be worried for Tardis stability. He is approaching the point where he is as wide as he is tall.
Wonder what Griff Rhys Jones is doing?
