I remember the controversy at work about the first Doctor Who (William Hartnell) when he transformed in to the next actor to play the part.
That was very well done how they did it, with a jigsaw puzzle of facial bits and pieces.
I was reading an article this morning which made the point that it's quite a commitment to take on the role - you're filming in Wales for much of the year and it's very difficult to fit in other commitments around it. I suspect that both Saunders and Lumley have too much going on in their lives to take it on. Also, without being discourteous, Joanna Lumley has probably reached an age when she wants to take things a little more easily, and just make the occasional travel documentary. If memory serves, Jessica Hynes played Joan Redfern, a character with whom the Doctor fell in love during the David Tennant era (he was stuck in 1913, living as a normal person, for reasons that now escape me), so it would have been a bit self-referential, even for Doctor WhoOddly enough.. I was thinking along the lines of Jennifer Saunders, Joanna Lumley (remember Saphire & Steel?)
Or Jessica Hynes? Though I feel Saunders & Lumley too well known for Abb Fab.
Jody Whittaker looks to have all these qualities.. So a great choice.
Jodie Whittaker will play the 13th Doctor Who, an excellent choice.
@Jaylee - Joanna Lumley has already played the Doctor...!
In a comic relief sketch in 1999! Episode: The Curse of Fatal Death
Dont know this actress so will have to see how she does.
Hubby a huge Dr Who fan and he's not too sure. I do believe one member of his Dr Who forum has gone into total meltdown as he cant believe they have brought a woman in. He has also wishes various death curses to the new writer ha ha
Haven't heard that one, though there was lots of speculation that he was going to be the next Doctor, when he left Death in Paradise - but I think he just wanted to come back to the UK because his kids are reaching secondary school age (he moved his family out there lock, stock and barrel each year, for several months and the kids went to local schools).Not All doctor who is on U.K. Netflix
Ps anyone else heard the new DW companion for 13th doctor to be lined up is kris Marshall
Yeah nardole was good too but althoung since the doctor is going to female aren't they going to make companion male unless they do a trio like one woman one maleHaven't heard that one, though there was lots of speculation that he was going to be the next Doctor, when he left Death in Paradise - but I think he just wanted to come back to the UK because his kids are reaching secondary school age (he moved his family out there lock, stock and barrel each year, for several months and the kids went to local schools).
Anyway, we'll see. I think Bill has been a brilliant Assistant in this series and, although it's hard to know quite how they would do it, I hope they keep her in the next series. I suppose we may find out at Christmas.
We'll have to wait and see, I think.Yeah nardole was good too but althoung since the doctor is going to female aren't they going to make companion male unless they do a trio like one woman one male
I bet she can't 'park' the Tardis
