Catherine Tate The Next Doctor Who : Entertainment on handbag.com
Throughout the whole of Doctor Who series four, there have been hints that there may be more to Catherine Tate\'s character Donna, than meets the eye. What a twist that would be if it turned out that Donna was a Time Lord too...
Doctor Hunt
TV,Doctor Who
Philip Glenister The Next Doctor Who : Entertainment on handbag.com
Thank you to the anonymous handbag reader who suggested Philip Glenister would make a good Doctor - we concur whole heartedly. Especially if there could be a little bit of Gene Hunt\'s mouthy banter added to the mix!
Doctor Absolutely Fabulous
TV,Doctor Who
Jennifer Saunders The Next Doctor Who : Entertainment on handbag.com
In December 2007 Jennifer Saunders was rumoured to be in talks with the makers of Doctor Who. The gossip was that Jennifer would play The Doctor in a special one-off episode - could this be it?
Doctor Jekyll

James Nesbit The Next Doctor Who : Entertainment on handbag.com
Steven Moffat, the man set to succeed Russell T Davies as lead writer and executive producer of the fifth series of Doctor Who is very good friends with James Nesbit having worked with him on Jekyll. According to industry insiders, Nesbitt is a shoo-in as he next Doctor.

Sean Pertwee The Next Doctor Who : Entertainment on handbag.com
Sean Pertwee has made it known that he would be more than willing to become the 11th Doctor. His father, the flamboyant Jon Pertwee, played the third Doctor between 1970 - 1974.
Doctor Baines
TV,Doctor Who
Harry Lloyd The Next Doctor Who : Entertainment on handbag.com
After appearing in Doctor Who series three as college boy Baines, Russell T Davis was apparently so taken with Harry Lloyd that he sent a note to the casting director saying, "He\'s not just good for Baines, that\'s the next Doctor!" Could Harry be about to get promoted?
Doctor Monty

Robert Carlyle The Next Doctor Who : Entertainment on handbag.com
Robert Carlyle is odds on favourite to become the 11th Doctor according to William Hill bookmakers. Earlier this year when asked about Doctor Who he said, "It\'s David\'s [Tennant] part and nothing to do with me, so I can\'t really think about it at the moment. But... would I do it? Possibly."
Doctor Dandy?
TV,Doctor Who
Russell Brand
Russell Brand has been trying his hardest to get into serious acting - perhaps Doctor Who could be his first big role? He\'s certainly got that eccentric look down!
Doctor Blair?
TV,Doctor Who
Michael Sheen
Michael Sheen has played the Prime Minister - of course Doctor Who is a logical progression! And check him out - he has Doctor Who hair
Doctor Boosh?
TV,Doctor Who
The Mighty Boosh
We would love to see Noel Fielding or Julian Barratt play Doctor Who - we think either one of them would be marvellously hilarious in the role
Doctor Tyler?
TV,Doctor Who
John Simm
No stranger to time travel, John Simm, star of BBC\'s hit drama \'Life on Mars\', would certainly make a good Doctor. It almost seems like it was meant to be since the character he played in \'Life on Mars\' was named after Rose Tyler from \'Doctor Who\'. But alas, John has already appeared in the show as the Doctor\'s evil nemesis, The Master... Boooo!
Doctor in Drag?
TV,Doctor Who
Eddie Izzard
He was once tipped as the next Time Lord, by none other than Tom Baker (the fourth man to play Doctor Who), back in 2003, but the part went to Christopher Eccleston instead. Should Eddie Izzard get his chance?
The lady Doctor?
TV,Doctor Who
Billie Piper
Doctor Who has a sex change? Russell T Davies, the executive producer and scriptwriter for the series, has said he would not rule out reincarnating the Time Lord as a woman. And who could be better than the assistant we couldn\'t help but fall in love with, Billie Piper
Doctor Bean?
TV,Doctor Who
Rowan Atkinson
He once played Doctor Who in a parody of the old series for Comic Relief in 1999, called \'Doctor Who and the Curse of the Fatal Death\' - but we think Rowan Atkinson should be given a shot at the real thing!
Doctor Pegg?
TV,Doctor Who
Simon Pegg
Yeah, yeah - we know, he\'s already appeared in \'Doctor Who\' as the mysterious Editor, but wouldn\'t a lifelong fan like Simon Pegg make an ace Doctor?
Doctor Doctor?
TV,Doctor Who
Richard E Grant
Richard E Grant has played Doctor Who twice now, (sort of). Once in the comedy sketch \'Doctor Who and the Curse of Fatal Death\' (as the \'Quite Handsome Doctor\') and in an animated webcast for the BBC called \'Scream of the Shalka\'... Should he now get a shot at the series?
Dr Yeah But No But...
TV,Doctor Who
Matt Lucas
Little Britain star Matt Lucas has said he\'s desperate to play Doctor Who...
Doctor Giles?
TV,Doctor Who
Anthony Head
In 2003 Anthony Head was voted as favourite to play the next Doctor Who in a Radio Times readers\' poll, but alas it wasn\'t meant to be. Then in April 2006 he appeared in \'Doctor Who\' as alien school headmaster, Mr Finch... We understand this means his chances of becoming the 11th Doctor Who are fairly slim - but come on - wouldn\'t he be best?
Doctor Q?
TV,Doctor Who
John Cleese
OK so maybe he wouldn\'t be able to dash about like young David Tennant, but wouldn\'t you just love to see John Cleese as Doctor Who? In 1979 John made a cameo appearance in \'Doctor Who\' as an art lover in an episode called \'City of Death\'. Perhaps it\'s something he\'s secretly always wanted to do...
Doctor Hugh?
TV,Doctor Who
Hugh Grant
He originally turned down the role of Doctor Who because he didn\'t think it would be big hit, but now Hugh has admitted he regrets that decision. So will he get a second chance? Perhaps not if rumours are to be believed about him having landed a special one-off role as a
baddie.
Doctor Dream?
TV,Doctor Who
Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp would make such a fabulous Doctor Who... He\'s got the look, the style, the quirkiness, the ability... Never going to happen, we know, we know. But we can dream!
