Any thoughts on who should play the 14th Doctor. My pick would be Nicholas Ralph. Tbh I've never heard of him. Looks a bit bland.

He’s very good in “All creatures” and I love his Scottish accent but 14 should probably be a woman or POC man (or woman) so people don’t say Jodie and Jo Martin were flukes. Maybe Nicolas could play the Doctor later on though.

Hello again
Only just heard the news, what an odd day to announce it, a random Thursday in July. I am not going to comment on the Chibnall era as it hasn't finished yet except to say he has eleven episodes to really prove his critics wrong. Jodie I have enjoyed as the Thirteenth Doctor, and while I am sorry she's going, I am looking forward to seeing her journey to regeneration. There's a lot that could happen. I am pleased the BBC are using the regeneration episode as part of the BBC's hundredth birthday celebrations.
Now, the silly season begins with regard to next Doctor. I wonder whether the new Doctor will be chosen by the new showrunner, which probably rules out Jo Martin, which is a shame. I am not even to suggest any possible Doctors because now we know the Doctor can be played by anyone. There's an awful lot of actors out there!
Who can takeover that will regenerate the series ready for its anniversary year? This will be a crucial and fascinating decision. I can't think of anyone off the top of my head. I did hear that the BBC were so fed up of us at Divergent Universe taking the series apart all the time that they were going to let us run it...

Based on the way he looks. He’s a good actor though, looks aren’t everything.

He would probably be a dark horse option as he’s not that well known internationally as far as I know but he’s a very good older character actor (also POC) with comedy and dramatic chops who like Capaldi stared or appeared in a lot different British tv shows and movies but hasn’t done anything big in the US yet. What about Sanjeev Bhaskar?

Could we maybe also think about future companion actors.

I've seen Dev Patel being a popular choice on social media. I think he'd be great if we have to have a man.

Sidenote: it would also definitely add extra entertainment value to the already brilliant Complete History of David Coperfield by retroactively turning it into a multi Doctor crossover!😁

The Green Knight is opening this week with him as the star. Also directing his own films now. He's not done TV since The Newsroom. Can't see him going back to it now.

Yes he was so good in that film. He would bring that comic timing to the role.

Could we maybe also think about future companion actors. Sure, but given two of our most recent companions were relatively small characters in Hollyoaks, Tosin and Mandip, probably not as easy with predicting that.

Michelle Gomez, anyone? Seriously though, I'm almost wishing Sacha was never The Master now, he'd be way up there in my picks.

Dorney as a showrunner? No thank you. Maybe they could have a duo running the show, Joy Wilkinson & Pete McTighe? I’d absolute concur. Wouldn’t want the gig.
