In January, the BBC issued a press release which did not verify or deny the gossip, saying: ‘We gained’t be commenting on any hypothesis round Jodie’s future on the present.’
As a little bit of enjoyable, we’ve appeared on the present odds from a choice of playing web sites to see whether or not we are able to predict who would be the subsequent particular person to seize her sonic screwdriver…
Michael Sheen (6/4 favorite at William Hill)
May this native boyo be heading for the main position?
He’s Welsh, it’s filmed in Wales, so he gained’t have a protracted commute. This very good actor is ready to fully rework into any of the celebrities he’s ever performed, from Brian Clough to Kenneth Williams, from Tony Blair to Chris Tarrant.
So he’d give these shape-shifting aliens the Raxacoricofallaptorians a run for his or her cash. Michael’s already made a voice cameo look within the 2011 episode The Physician’s Spouse. Plus he’s finest mates with former Physician David Tennant, his co-star in BBC1’s Staged.
Michaela Coel (4/1 favorite at Boylesports)
All Michaela must do is inform the Daleks the title of her final present – I Might Destroy You
The creator and star of the astonishing I Might Destroy You, who lastly bought the BAFTA awards she deserved earlier this month, could be an excellent selection.
Followers of Michaela who first noticed her within the C4 comedy-drama Chewing Gum may even understand how humorous and geeky she may be, too. However she wouldn’t be the primary Physician of color; strictly talking that honour goes Jo Martin, who performed a reincarnation of Jodie Whittaker’s 13 th Physician in 2020.
Richard Ayoade (9/1, Paddy Energy)
Richard is the followers’ option to seize the sonic screwdriver
For years, he’s been the followers’ favorite, and he’s definitely bought an out-of-this-world attraction about him. However the show-runners could also be eager to proceed having a girl within the title position, which implies Richard’s followers could possibly be upset.
However as one TARDIS door closes, one other might open for Richard to develop into a companion. It is a job that didn’t do Billie Piper’s profession any hurt when she performed Rose reverse Christopher Eccleston in 2005, and wowed critics together with her appearing capability.
Olly Alexander (16/1, Ladbrokes)
Will we have now to attend Years And Years to see Olly within the TARDIS?
The fresh-faced Yorkshireman, who sings below the identify Years and Years, shot up the listing after his starring position within the Russell T Davies sequence, It’s A Sin in January this 12 months.
A spokesman for bookies Ladbrokes mentioned: “Followers have been extremely impressed by Alexander’s change from musician to actor and, after wowing in It’s A Sin, the chances have tumbled on him turning into the following Physician.” Plus, Olly’s newest single was known as Starstruck – is {that a} good omen?
Katie Value (200/1, Paddy Energy)
Katie Value is an out of doors guess as the most recent Time Lord
An outdoor guess, we grant you, however as she’d say herself, by no means underestimate the Expensive. In the event you’ve seen any of her actuality reveals, you recognize that life can shortly develop into extra dramatic than say, that second when the entire Time Lords banded collectively to seal Gallifrey in a pocket universe.
Plus, Katie’s no stranger to going below the knife, so she’d take any regenerations – when the Physician modifications persona and appears – in her stride.
