With David Tennant announcing he will be leaving Doctor Who at the end of this makeshift season (consisting of 4 tv movies) the rumour mill has been wild with speculation over who could fill these very well traveled shoes next.
BBCOne’s Doctor Who Confidential that will air tomorrow night will reveal who will trip the light fantastic next as the Doctor and might even give us a hint towards how this Doctor’s personality will shape up.
Head Of Drama BBC Wales Piers Wenger said, “We are so pleased to have been able to cast this person as the new Doctor. We believe the actor is going to bring something very special to the role and will make it absolutely their own – I just can’t wait to tell everyone who it is – it has been a nail biting Christmas trying to keep this under wraps!”.
I have fallen deeply into a comfort zone with Tennant as the Doctor. It was only a matter of time before someone took over the role, but I wasn’t done with him yet.
I was happy however to see the fella in this most recent Christmas special will not be the next Doctor. It was a great idea for a story, but I just wasn’t buying him as a long term Doctor.
But that just might be because of my comfort with Tennant.
The top rumour contender seems to be Paterson Joseph, but he played a minor role as Rodrick in two episodes of Doctor Who already. If he did get the gig would they write in that Rodrick was the Doctor tripping over himself in the past? Could be interesting.
So who would you like to see as the next Doctor?
