Russell T Davies: Catherine Zeta Jones would be a brilliant Doctor Who

Bosses could employ first female Timelord

Friday, 19 December 2008

The next actor to take on the role of Doctor Who might be a woman.

Show bosses have considered appointing the first Timelady.

‘The more it’s talked about, the more likely it is to happen,’ show chief Russell T Davies tells The Sun.

‘Catherine Zeta Jones or Lesley Sharp would be brilliant.’

Catherine Tate, 40, and Goodness Gracious Me star Meera Syal are also said to be in the running.

David Tennant will star as The Doctor in five special episodes before standing down. 

Several actors, including David Morrissey, 44, Martin Clunes, 47, and David Walliams, 37, have been tipped to replace him.

I agree with Catherine Tate when she says that you would lose too many young boys as fans of the show with a female Doctor. Because they want to be a big male action hero, not a female action hero.
