Who should become the next Doctor after Whittaker?

The unique thing about the Doctor and Jenny is, that her DNA was extrapolated entirely from his own.
There is no second biological parent.
He gave her all strands of DNA, all 4.

So he is both, Mum and Dad anyway.

If I recall the episode wasn't she kind of created without his consent. Maybe he doesn't even count as either thought that wasn't how they played it in the episode. I theory though couldn't you say he was more of a organ donor?

It technically made regeneration be something genetic in Time Lords bodies...though Jenny didn’t change face. Arguably, she’s less than 24 hours old, so did the hand trick.
 
I'd like at some point, maybe not right after whittaker, but at some point, after awhile, I would love to see a casting of a Doctor who takes that idea of the Curator on, and someone plays a new Doctor, but with the face ( a dead ringer) like the 4th Doctor. They play the part different ofcourse, but the look and the speech of this Future Doc, has Tom Baker's look and we assume at some point in the future, he becomes the Curator..

If not, there's always another Tenant or Smith run.. Heck Matt Smith already said, he would love to play another Doctor again, but with a different personality.. I could see it, especially since Matt will be so much older then when he played 11.

Outside a familiar face, I still want to see why and how a future Doctor becomes the Dreaded Valeyard. that, would make a great story arc for any new Whovian series.
 
I wouldn't mind seeing Tenant and Smith return. I would really like to see Tenant come back as the Doctor stuck in the alternate universe with Rose. I think they should do a show were he comes back and teams up with yet another Doctor for a season. I really like the idea of having a season with two Doctors as series regulars. Maybe even year 3 or 4 of Whittaker. if they break tradition and have her stay a extra year.

well it looks like Gotham is coming to an end soon, so I think that Pertwee's Son would make a great "revisit familiar faces" kinda thing, assuming he would even want the part. I could get on board with that, since he does resemble his father quite a bit.

They should do a BF or Novel series based on Rose and the Meta Doctor, showing them making a TARDIS and Rose and the Meta Doctor getting the ability to Regen ala River song with Pete's world universe time lords, and similar but slightly different tech then the original Whovian verse. It would be interesting to see what an alternative universe Gallifrey would look like, especially since the current universe has that 1930s Retro futurism feel to their world and technology.
 
There aren't any, according to RTD.

I am lazy.. so I remember reading this awhile back.. I think this makes sense.

One possibility about the founding of torchwood in pete's world is that it was the metacrisis tenth doctor and rose that caused the founding of torchwood in this universe,I wonder if there is a paralell Jack Harkness?.As for time lords somewhere on this wiki i remember hearing that in most universes a race develops time travel and declares itself the lords of time so even if its not the gallifreyans there may be beings in Pete's world known as time lords.--666hotline 10:05, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Actually, if I remember correctly, there was something said in Age of Steel about there only being one Doctor, that they didn't exist in other worlds. Or maybe I just assumed this from the fact the Doctor said that in the old days time lords could go between universes easily. But I'm sure I've heard it somewhere.

I think the OP is referring to the fact that RTD said Pete's World didn't have a Doctor. This hasn't been definitively established by anything in the DWU, though, and it doesn't really make much sense, if you think about it for more than a few seconds. Still we do have something on the matter from BBC Books:
The parallel world from which the Cybermen came was possibly split from our own when an event took place on that world but not ours: the death of Queen Victoria, killed by a Werewolf. This event was averted on our own world by the intervention of an alien wanderer in time and space -- The Doctor.''Doctor Who: Creatures and Demons


I'm really not sure of the status of that particular work in our canon heirarchy, but it's a starting point of a kind. While it may not definitively establish there is no Doctor in Pete's World, it does at least establish that Pete's World Torchwood wasn't created for the same reason, or at least via the same set of events, as in ours.
It doesn't necessarily follow that because there's a Torchwod in Pete's World that Pete's World must have a Doctor. It's completely reasonable to accept the Creatures and Demons logic that Victoria was killed at the Torchwood estate by a threat later identified as alien by humans, and that those humans then set up an organization to combat alien threat, named in honor of the place their Queen fell. I mean the Lady of the house was still alive at the end of Tooth and Claw in our world. She could have been left alive at the end of the same events in Pete's World — a full witness to those events —and that she reported to others what she had seen. It's easy to stress the Doctor too much in the formation of Torchwood. It's principle aim wasn't to find and exclude the Doctor; it was to combat alien threats. Which you'd still need to do in Pete's World even if there was no Doctor. I mean, UNIT would've, and really did, form in our world without the Doctor. So why wouldn't Torchwood?

I think there's a possibility there.. Unless its a later bit of data RTD has stated... this was from 2010.
 
Whoever the next Doctor is, the one person that it absolutely definitely should NOT be is...

...Alanis Morissette. Because she said so.

He wouldn't.

IIRC, Sean has gone on record as saying that he won't play his father's role. So he could play a Doctor, but he doesn't want to play the Third Doctor.

I said I didn’t want a drink tonight, but now that we’ve finished the wine I might have a beer or two before bed.

There’s what people say and there’s what people do. He might change his tune if the phone actually rings.

He works quite a bit. He can say no to playing the Third Doctor.
Not everyone is desperate.

I’m not suggesting that he’s desperate or that he’d sign up, but he’s well within his rights to change his mind.

Maybe he’d do it if there was punch and pie.
 
I suspect the only thing which could change his mind is if he were approached to something for charity, since you know, don't want to look like a douche. Even then, I wouldn't expect anything more involved than a Children in Need skit or something.
 
He was in The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot briefly as himself.

And I could see him as the first true second generation Doctor, if it’s his own take, not his father’s.
That still gives the Doctor that familiar face but different Doctor route to go for.
 
I would never think Sean Pertwee would play his father. I'm not saying he should as he said that's off the table. But a Doctor who has a passing resemblance to his father could pull off a "ah, I've regenerated! My First time going for an old favorite face! Let's see how we did.. meh..close enough."
Lol I could see that regen scene happening.
References to the Third Doctor are shown and then Sean crafts his own doctor from there..that's what I am saying.
 
Okay new question: Who should be the next Doctor after the next Doctor after Jodie? We might as well start looking into this now.
At this rate, we need to start projecting for the next two decades! We need to figure out who is a rising star now and will be seasoned enough to play The Doctor in 20 years time. I'm calling it now: Millie Bobby Brown will be The Eighteenth Doctor!

That's a 6 to 8 year projection. Isn't it kind of hard to look that far into the future? If they go young you got to basically look at teenage level actors. I guess I could say any of the Harry Potter kids.
