I'm thinking back to last time; Capaldi hadn't been massively discussed (I don't remember if we had anywhere near the level of "it'll be either this one or that one" when we were awaiting Twelve's casting that we seem to have had with Marshall and Waller-Bridge; I couldn't tell you who was attracting the most speculation back then at all) until virtually just before he was announced when there was a big rush of bets on him. Phoebe Waller-Bridge is the favourite but going by the Clinton/May Precedent, 2016-17 is not a good year for women who are the favourites.

If we do get a female Doctor, would we be more likely to get a male or female companion? I'd love to see a female Doctor/male companion's dynamic if Chibnall could turn it on its ear slightly.

I remember Rory Kinnear being the bookers' favourite for 12 at some point, I think? I'm hoping for Waller-Bridge so hard but I'm so prepared to be so disappointed

It lets them have their obligatory "person from our year to sort of be an audience stand in" while also maybe having someone from the future. Plus, Nardole really added a lot this season.

Michelle Dockery should be the Doctor but only if she dyes her hair white and puts a black streak in it again.  It's a sonic fire poker.

I want to say the huge rush of bets was maybe two days before the announcement special on BBC, and then all the bookies closed betting because it was patently obvious someone had talked. I believe Capaldi was talked about more than most because he had auditioned for Eleven until Smith came in and blew everyone away.

He should get sliced in two and then both sides can regenerate. Bam, two Doctors. That or he and the Master go into a room off-screen, murder each other, regenerate, and then come back out and it doesn't tell us which is which. Also Jack Whitehall for next Doctor

And the Vicki & Stephen/Jaime & Victoria/Jaime and Zoe dynamics were all fun. Well, maybe someday they'll do it again.

Whoever it is, I hope there's a long drawn out plotline involving the valeyard that won't be boring at all. Also, it'll be Tom Hughes

I'm afraid it's going to be Kris Marshall based purely on the fact he was in My Family and this is precisely the kind of dumb pick the BBC would make.

We could probably work it out based on the usual pattern of going through the producers' last projects and finding out which relatively unknown actor is not signed for anything next year. All of them have worked with him, none are signed up for anything that would clash with who Jack Roth Olivia Colman (should happen, won't happen) Clive Standen Jamie Campbell Bower The next lot is from law and order uk which has bonus points for having multiple former doctor who cast members in it. Aidan McArdle Jamie Bamber (because why the hell not) Dominic Rowan Any of the pretty ones from Merlin.

A Neither Capaldi nor Smith had worked with Moffat before, though, right? The only one that would apply to would be Tennant, because he and Davies worked together on Casanova and Davies wanted him before the BBC gave him Eccleston.

Marshall is 44 years old. This is the hot young actor who's supposed to draw in young women? Tennant was over ten years younger when he started. (I don't mean to say he's too old, just that it's odd compared to what we've heard about wanting a much younger actor.)The_Doctor posted:- Alfie 'grandson of Ian Chesterton' Enoch Alfie Enoch is William Russell's son, not his grandson. (Or maybe you were suggesting that Ian is Russell's father somehow.)

Here's an older Beeb article which has been updated in the last few hours going over the most likely prospects. What's the likelihood it'll be none of the above? I know everyone would love Tilda Swinton to do it, but when people suggest her, are they doing so seriously or is it just wishful thinking? I have a hard time seeing Academy Award-winning movie star and performance artist Tilda Swinton signing on to commit to at least three years of a teatime science-fiction show.

What just struck me is that if the BBC does the pretty boy fanservice casting for the departed Tennant fans, we'll probably only ever see that kind of casting from here on.

Has it ever been the bookies favourite? I'm honestly asking, I'm pretty sure Capaldi and Smith both were suprise casting (and int he case of Smith not many people even knew who the hell he was), but I dont really remember when tennant was cast if he was a name being bandied about beforehand. If the BBC publish an article saying "here are the likely prospects" then yeah, I'd personally be inclined to think "so this is a list of people it definitely isnt".

I haven't ever really followed the bookies' choices that closely, but wasn't Patterson Joseph considered to be very heavily in the running for Eleven right up until Matt Smith was cast? That's a vague memory so I'm probably wrong about some/all of the details.

That's a vague memory so I'm probably wrong about some/all of the details. I know Joseph definitely was and I remember there being speculation around James McAvoy as well. I remember shortly after Tennant's departure was announced, there was a big two-page spread in the Daily Mail about who it could be next of which the centrepiece was a huge picture of Catherine Zeta-Jones.
