Ok the book on the new Doctor is open, I'm going for Ryan Clark-Neal with Katie Price & George Floyd as the companion.

I suppose she is larger on the inside apparently!

Well we've had a black Doctor (kind of) so that's a tick the box. I don't think we can go back to a straight white well educate male so Ryan Clark-Neal is a good call, although personally I can't ******* stand him, but that aside.

Actually I'm going to be progressive and put my money on a non-binary doctor. With the doctor regenerating in to new bodies but being the same doctor I think it's a pretty good fit an no reason for anyone to question the choice IMO.

Idris Elba for Dr Who! Seeing as the people behind the Bond franchise are too scared to give him that job.

But please, no more of the likes of Bradley Walsh or other 'comedians' as companions.

It's the same person regardless of body so no, the Dr can't regenerate as non-binary logically. After 900 hundred years they really shouldn't need to come out.
But you're probably right.

When did we have a black doctor?

I always thought Eddie Izzard was a good shout, even before the woke agenda... even better fit.

Nah I think he's too serious. I would have loved him to be James Bond! Totally agree, Bradly Walsh was a disaster. He had more airtime over xmas that nearly everyone according to the news so far too recognisable.

Not strickly but she gets credit for being the first black Doctor

I would support Idris Elba - a fine actor.

if it has to be black..

Meera Syal would be very believable.

with the possible exception of othello decent actors can play anything.

Vinnie Jones would be amusing.
