A fun fantasy casting game, for geeks!

MightyGodKing proposes The Eleven Doctors Game, wherein, and I quote:

THE IMAGINED SITUATION IS: The BBC has decided to air a one-time four-hour miniseries event of Doctor Who. The miniseries will be entitled “The Eleven Doctors” and feature every single Doctor as the cast, with a number of companions rounding it out.

Paul McGann, Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant and Matt Smith will play the Eighth through Eleventh Doctors. (Some suggested that at 51 McGann was too old to play his Doctor, but fans argued that he deserved a second chance to play the Eighth Doctor again and really, 51? That’s not a big deal.) However, the remaining living former actors who have played the Doctor all agreed that they should let more age-appropriate actors play the younger incarnations of the earlier Doctors (perhaps with one or two making jokes about “the need for a sonic cane,”) and of course Jon Pertwee, Patrick Troughton and William Hartnell are all long dead.

So:

1.) Who plays each of the first seven Doctors?

2.) Which companion does each Doctor get, if any? (Assume, for marketing purposes, that Amy Pond will be present and accounted for. Possibly Rory as well. And Sarah Jane Smith is a definite, played by Elizabeth Sladen.) Note that some Doctors will have to go without.

3.) Who then should play those companions?

My own answers are available in that thread, and your answers should go there!

For the linkphobic:

First: Alan Rickman (I accept Bird's recommendation)
Second: Colin Hanks
Third: Stephen Fry (I accept Bird's recommendation)
Fourth: Diedrich Bader (I think this is terrible and yet too funny to not do)
Fifth: Jesse Spencer
Sixth: James Nesbitt (I accept Bird's recommendation, because, really, sixth doctor WHO?)
Seventh: Mark Sheppard

Also:
"Both Billy Connelly and Patrick Warburton must be simultaneously cast as the false Doctor from “The Next Doctor”. They should swap out continuously mid-scene and nobody except the Second, Seventh, and Eleventh doctors are allowed to notice."
