As the 10th series of Doctor Who makes its way to our screens, speculation is rising as to who will play the next Doctor. We’ve rounded up our top 5 favourites.
Olivia Colman
National treasure Olivia has history working with writer Chris Chibnall and previous Doctor, David Tennant. Now that Broadchurch has reached the end of its run, could Olivia be looking for a new challenge as the first female Doctor?
Tom Hiddleston
After his marvel(lous) success in the Thor franchise is Tom ready to turn Loki’s sceptre into a sonic screwdriver? Could his role as Jonathan Pine in the Night Manager catapult him to success as Wales’ favourite export?
Tilda Swinton
With a colourful history of award winning performances and an iconic androgynous style Tilda would be sure to bring something new to the role. She’s already won the support of former Doctor Who leading man Paul McGann.
Idris Elba
Long rumoured to the be in the running for the role of the Doctor, Idris could bring panache to the role of the time lord (if he isn’t snapped up as the next Bond).
Alexander Vlahos
Could this local boy who grew up in Cardiff – home of the Who – bring home the bacon? He’s got history in the tea time slot having played Mordred in Merlin, and he hasn’t denied his enthusiasm for the role…
