My top picks to play the Doctor, assuming the show comes back within the next five years and based on actors the BBC might feasibly actually get:

Caoilfhionn Dunne

Age: 42

Can play steely and heroic or awkwardly eccentric

Rocks a masculine look and would be the first openly queer woman in the role

Has been on the series before (as Costallion in The Well); the Doctor could reminding themselves of those who sacrificed themselves for them.

About time we had an Irish Doctor

Rahul Kohli

Age: 40

Class act

Reportedly a geek, so might do it even if it's a salary drop

Loads of horror and thriller experience

Can out-beard the Master

About time we had a South Asian Doctor

Gwendoline Christie

Age: 47

Classy, cool, beautiful

Tons of genre experience

I want the tallest Doctor to be a woman

Probably too big a deal to be affordable but maybe Amazon will buy Doctor Who for a few years so they can afford her.

Ben Daniels

Age: 62

Previously shortlisted for the role (he was the backup if Capaldi said no)

Solid choice if we want a traditional older white male Doctor

Proudly gay so we'd still represent

Award-winning actor but very much up for the role

Plenty of historical and genre experience

Christina Chong

Age: 42

Has been on the show before (as Lorna Bucket in A Good Man Goes to War) and wants to do it again

The Doctor could be reminding themself to remember the people on the edge of their adventures.

Finished filming Star Trek so she's free

Also a singer, so we can have a proper musical episode

Gorgeous

About time we had an East Asian Doctor

Matt Ryan

Age: 45

Time travel experience

Has appeared on Torchwood and Mine All Mine so can deal with whatever Cardiff throws at him

Hot as a bad boy antihero, even hotter as a geeky scientist

I cannot believe we haven't had a Welsh Doctor already

Alfred Enoch

Age: 37

Up-and-coming star, get him before he's unattainable

Son of William Russell, who played Ian Chesterton right back at the beginning

Anyone handsome and stylish enough to pull off that waistcoat can wear anything

Seyan Sarvan

Age: 32

Exceptionally good but little-known actor

Has worked with RTD so he could have a word in the right ear (if they're still listening to him)

So handsome

An Asian, Muslim, LGBTQ Doctor would piss off so many reactionaries it's almost worth it for that alone

Seriously, watch her in It's a Sin, she's awesome

David Jonsson

Age: 32

Exceptional character actor; can play auty androids, confident sleuths and closeted heroes with apparent ease.

Has that combination of Britishness and otherworldliness that is perfect for the role.

Can really rock period costume

Plenty of genre experience already

On the cusp of being a superstar, get him while you can

Paterson Joseph

Age: 62

He's been my top choice for the role since he played the Marquis on Neverwhere

Has been up for the role before (lost out to Matt Smith)

Has been on the show before (as Rodrick in The Parting of the Ways) but it was yonks ago so never mind

Can balance cool and eccentric, funny and threatening

Now that he's older he's even more Doctorish

Can apparently pull off any outfit with ease

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE 2x02 | Do You Know What It Means to Be Loved by Death Welcome! To the displacement of reason. And the excretion of pathetic desires. By that I mean… Good evening. What you're about to see… is, for you, an outrage that masks a birth and a rebirth of what is [...] Instead of mere human drama, we here at Theatre Des Vampires, delve into the underbelly of the human soul, to present to you the highest form of art in the lowest of ways! Have you repressions that need airing? Oh, you've come to the right place. Phobias toward your next of kin? Amis, we assist in turning down the sheets! Bloodlust?! Fear of the insane?! I salute your honesty. Right after I take my boot from your arse! But seriously, mes amis, being vampires, and by nature superior to you mortals, we can replicate the level of bilge necessary to disrupt your tiny ship called human decency. In fact, we capsize it. So, if you don't leave here tonight seeing the world upside down and liking very much what you see, and feel, then we here at Theatre Des Vampires, have failed in our jobs which is, at the heart of it, to laugh alongside your misery while you cry and scream for more.
