Why not Davison for Five Docs or Anneke Wills for Tenth Planet?

Why not Davison for Five Docs or Anneke Wills for Tenth Planet? My thinking was that both feature the First Doctor, so it would be rather apt if the man who is said to be standing in for William Hartnell in his unfortunate absence recorded these audiobooks.

Except he's never "stood in" for Hartnell, he played William Hartnell in a docudrama. He may be playing the first Doctor at Christmas. Or he could be playing Solomon the Trader. Or someone new. He's also, and this is possible quite important, not a good likeness nor vocal mimic of Hartnell.

We already know Jon Culshaw is reading The Five Doctors and so far all the Ben and Polly book readings have been read by Anneke Wills, and frankly in a year that has already has Anneke performing her first 1st Doctor Big Finishes, there's no way BBC Audio will get anyone else in for a Tenth Planet reading.

You are literally the only person to have said him to be "standing in for William Hartnell in his unfortunate absence".

Jon Culshaw's a good choice too.

Uncanny they may be, but neither of them have much in common with the late Mr Hartnell.

His voice and appearance is uncanny. youtu.be/niAJhq9DT_8Based on the above he's a decent stand in, but I definitely wouldn't go so far as to say he was uncanny

In what way? Height? (He's taller) Age? (He's 20 years older than Hartnell was when he played the Doctor). Hair colour? (He's dark haired and Hartnell was white/grey)
Listen to both of them speaking on YouTube. Really, they sound nothing like each other, Dalekbuster523finish.

The pitch of Hartnell's voice is different. I've yet to hear Bradley speak in anything other than a growl.

Jon Culshaw's a good choice too. That's just as well, since he's confirmed he's recorded an audiobook where he had to voice five different doctors.

Do you mean the distant cough he makes as he makes his way through the London fog?
