Anjli Mohindra? I haven't seen her in anything since SJA, but IMDB shows she's been pretty busy.
Who should become the next Doctor after Whittaker?
- Thread starter Jayson1
- Start date
Michaela Coel.
She's fucking brilliant.

I wouldn't mind her just showing up as Rani again in some capacity. The last Doctor she saw was 11, so it would be fun to see her spot the TARDIS as she strolled down an Ealing street one day, then excitedly run over to knock on the door, only to be surprised when Jodi's Doctor opens the door.
Alexander Siddig.
He is my one and only pick until he gets too old to be considered for the part

If you're going to pick someone from Merlin, how about Asa Butterfield? He's 20 now, so if Jodie Whittaker decides to take off in three years, he'll still be a very young 23, by far the youngest Doctor ever. Not sure if he could pull off the wackiness, though, being more or less a straight dramatic actor.
I don't know, I just hope the role doesn't revert back to male for a long while and also could it be less caucasian too please ta
I've loved everyone in the role, there isn't a single doctor I thought was anything less than marvellous in the role, but it did get a bit absurd that this character who could become absolutely anyone just happened to keep becoming White Men and I think Capaldi should be the last one through the door for a good decade at least

That’d be two or three Doctors, going past form, including Whittaker.
There is no evidence a regeneration can result in becoming "absolutely anyone". As of now, we've only seen male to female (and that was a Moffatt/PC move). Only Eccelston of nuWho said he could turn out to be anything (which might have been true for him because he was full of vortex energy). We haven't seen any cross color regeneration at all (nuWho).
Yeah was thinking three or four, we went through four in the eighties which seems to be a consistent burn rate for lead actors on this show
There's plenty of evidence - in Hell Bent we see a regeneration from an old white dude into a young black woman. When Romana regenerated from Mary Tamm we saw her go through a number of forms before settling on Lalla Ward.
I mean I don't think there's much point in having a discussion about it if you think that giving a job to a woman is political correctness but it's just factually wrong to say there is "no evidence" the doctor can potentially turn into a plethora of forms that aren't "white and male".
After Whitaker, let's see:
Steve Valentine- Scottish guy with bad hair (you've seen him in plenty of things) who is also a magician (McCoy come twice)
Richard Ayoade- Because he's perfect and it's terrible that he didn't get it this time
David Mitchell- Or, even better, he should be Shakespeare as a companion to Ayoade's Doctor
The Doctor is a mostly comic role. Need a good comedian.

Jaime Murray would probably be an excellent Doctor, or Katie McGrath.
I still think either Romola Garai or Laura Carmichael would be fantastic choices.
You're right. I stand corrected. For some reason I mis-remembered the General being a black man (regening into a black woman). Old age, I guess.
I'd prefer Idris Elba, but he may be too old by then.
I don't know, he's 14 years younger than Capaldi... who knows... Who Nose!?!?!
