Looking forward to the BBC1 Doctor Who Xmas special, "The Next Doctor" on Christmas Day, especially since the current Doctor, 37 year-old David Tennant, comes face-to-face with an 1851 version of himself, played by David Morrissey, 44. I'm also looking forward to the appearance of all nine previous incarnations of the Doctor (including Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Patrick Troughton and Peter Davison) on the hour-long programme.
However I'll be sorry to see David stand down as the timelord after the four Doctor Who specials are broadcast next year. David Tennant was the 10th actor to play the Time Lord and spent four years in the role, after replacing Christopher Eccleston, who resurrected the show after a 16-year break.
David Tennant quits as Doctor Who
The show's creator, Russell T Davies, has suggested the next Doctor could be a woman, favouring Catherine Zeta Jones and Lesley Sharp, but if the BBC are seriously considering a female Doctor, I'd like to see Catherine Tate return as "Doctor Donna".
And despite the bookies touting Paterson Joseph at 3-1, I'd prefer Colin Salmon to become the first black doctor instead.
Guess we'll have to wait and see...
