Radio Times – BBC Not Ruled Out Female Doctor Poll
BBC Not Ruled Out Female Doctor
From The Radio Times
“The new Doctor could be handed the keys to the TARDIS as early as next month, BBC sources have confirmed – with insiders suggesting Matt Smith’s replacement needs to be announced before the Doctor Who Christmas special begins filming next month.
The Twelfth Doctor is expected to first appear on screen at the end of the Christmas special, following the regeneration of Matt Smith’s Doctor.
It would be virtually impossible to keep the identity of the new doctor a secret even if the entire set went into lockdown during filming of the Christmas special, a BBC source told RadioTimes.com.
“The search has begun in earnest and is active now,” the source said, adding that the BBC has not ruled out hiring a woman to replace Matt Smith.”
So like so many other we ask the question – yes of no!…

June 12th, 2013 - 11:31am“Young and attractive’ isn’t everything lol. Much of the fanbase is older, plus there is a lot of skill and experience that comes with being ‘older’ (not that any of the recent Doctors could be considered ‘old’ anyway).
I personally don’t care how young/’old’ the actor is, male/female or whatever race, they simply need to be a good actor and do justice to the series.
I agree that we need a ginger Doctor eventually. 😀 I was always hoping Benedict Cumberbatch would fill that niche, but now he’s off doing ‘hollywood’ stuff, I doubt we’ll see him in DW any time soon.

June 12th, 2013 - 1:04amIf you had a showrunner that didn’t try his hardest to write stories that only hardcore fans can appreciate (and even then only just) then of course it’ll be axed! But if they got a new one that made stories in a more traditional manner with less pretentious wibbly wobbly time travel wierdness then it would be great again.

June 12th, 2013 - 12:09amThe doctor can either be male or female,they have to be a great actor. Matt Smith had an amazing portrayal,the character should be young and attractive, I mean why would the doc regenerate to someone older. He could be a ginger,so he can finally get what he wanted.

June 10th, 2013 - 1:01amApparently the bbc have offered rory kinnear the honour of playing our 12th doctor. My only concern with him becoming the doctor is can he nail the doctor’s Eccentricity? i suppose time will tell providing the papers and bookies are right.
