 Next Who - smokie
Out of the three bookies' favourites for the next actor to be Dr Who, Richard Ayoade wins by a mile for me. He has the right temperament, and is a very funny guy.

The other two are Ben Whishaw and Olivia Colman.

Who else should be on the list?
 Next Who - CGNorwich
Donald Trump

 Next Who - Crankcase
Wait, Jon Pertwee is leaving?

Anyway, Richard has signed up for The Crystal Maze reboot so may not have time to solve mysteries in little boxes.
 Next Who - zippy
Richard Ayoade - best in the IT Crowd. Watching him in anything else is difficult. Yes he would make a good Doc!

I reckon Noel Fielding would make a good Doc.

What about Milton Jones or Bill Bailey - not actors per-se but weird enough to bring some character back to the part!

 Next Who - The Melting Snowman
Jeremy Corbyn.
 Next Who - Haywain
In the interests of diversity - after all, it is the Beeb, I nominate Diane Abbott.
 Next Who - R.P.
She's already stuck in a world that looks like the 1970s
 Next Who - devonite
I read somewhere t'other day that Noddy Holder (Ex-Slade) had been chosen! - t'would be a good choice methinks! ;-)
 Next Who - VxFan
Doctor Who: Billie Piper says it's time to cast a woman

There's no rear view mirror in the Tardis to be able to apply makeup and do your hair though. Let alone trying to park it.

And the sonic screwdriver would have to become a sonic iron

 Next Who - TheManWithNoName
If the Beeb continues to produce it, surely its time for a gay one legged black single mum, lefty activist raised clenched-fist type?
 Next Who - CGNorwich
I think perhaps your prejudices are showing.





 Next Who - TheManWithNoName
Bang to rights! I am prejudiced against the BBC.
 Next Who - Roger.
Next Who...........cares?

Sorry Pat :-)
 A female Doctor - whatever next? - Manatee
She's from Huddersfield, she'll have no trouble driving a Tardis.
 A female Doctor - whatever next? - VxFan
I thought it was flown rather than driven?
 A female Doctor - whatever next? - Manatee
It's not real:)
 A female Doctor - whatever next? - Zero
Its not flown either. Its "materialised" in a new location.

Didn't Rover sell Tardis's* before they went bust?



Oh no sorry that was Tata's.




*Plural of Tardis, Tardi?)

>> Its not flown either. Its "materialised" in a new location

Still needs a pilot though, and it's quite often shown as flying through space.
 A female Doctor - whatever next? - Mapmaker
I don't understand why this is supposed to be news. But then... when will Miss Marple be played by a man?
 A female Doctor - whatever next? - Zero

>> Marple be played by a man?

"Dr" Who is non gender specific. "Miss" Marple is, so I guess the answer to that is - Never
 A female Doctor - whatever next? - No FM2R
I'm still upset over "Dr. Joan Watson" in Elementary.
 A female Doctor - whatever next? - Robin O'Reliant
Won't they have to change the name to Nurse Who?
 A female Doctor - whatever next? - VxFan
What next?

Daleks with breasts. Davina instead of Davros. Cyberwomen. The Mistress. Ice Maidens.

We're doomed I tell ya.
 A female Doctor - whatever next? - Lygonos
>>What next? ... The Mistress

Actually been done in the Capaldi tenure, and one of the best characters.

Female incarnation of the Master: "Missy"

 A female Doctor - whatever next? - sooty123
I watched a few bits of the Dr Who episodes over the years, can't say I ever 'got' it, perhaps it was just me.
 A female Doctor - whatever next? - CGNorwich
To enjoy fully you have to watch whilst hiding behind the sofa. Being nine helps too. :-)

>> Female incarnation of the Master: "Missy"

And the big clue that the next doctor would be a female.
 A female Doctor - whatever next? - Roger.
Next Who? Who cares ? (Except the actress chosen for the part.)
 A female Doctor - whatever next? - Lygonos
>>And the big clue that the next doctor would be a female.

Biggest clue came from a mini-episode with Paul McGann before the 2013 50th anniversary episode.
