      Probably not a bad shout to be fair. She'd be very good.

        I've got such a problem with this 'the next actors has to be black/female or whatever' or 'it's about time' marlarky...

        It's just wrong IMO and quite irks me when I see it. Why haven't we had a black james bond? Who cares? What I care about is getting the best actor to fit the role. If it's Idris Elba (which I think would be bloody great btw) then so be it. If the perfect guy at the time is white, then so be it. Idris would be awesome in the role because he would nail it. Not because he's chuffin black.

        If they can find a terrific lady for the part of Dr Who bring it on. Don't look for a woman to fit the role. Look for the best character actor. Also don't make someone try fit the role that doesn't. If the Dr is an eccentric then it will be a man in a floppy hat that we all kinda relate eccentric men to. Don't stick a floppy hat on a woman and expect her to be in character. Make her whatever model eccentric ladies tend to be associated with is my personal opinion.

        Anyway, bit serious for this thread so let's get back on topic.. Who's gonna make me a cup of tea and why don't we have Salma Hayek breaks anymore?

          She certainly has the quirky look so would fit in the role as per my previous comment about character. That said everytime I see her I can't help remember her character in Broadchurch. Toe curling it was.

              Victoria Coren-Mitchell? She's intelligent and quirky enough for sure.

                She's the poker player/presenter lady isn't she. Haven't really seen her much but appeared a bit dull the few times I saw her.

                At first I mixed her up with Vicki Butler-Henderson but now I think about it shes a giddy kipper isn't she so would be fun.

                  I know who my money is on. She ticks all the boxes.

                    Ohhhh.. She's a woman and she's a black. The PC brigade will be creaming over that! She's a great character as well so good call... But... An American playing a quintessential English character? I can't believe they will go that far.

                      David Mitchell's other half. First person to win two EPT finals as well IIRC.

                      That said, Mel Giedroyc could be a good shout instead - bit more to her and she's quirky enough.
