So, who will be the next Doctor? I don’t know. Nobody knows—except maybe Russell T Davies, and he’s not telling anyone. But that’s the fun part. It’s like Christmas morning when you were a kid: you have no idea what’s inside the wrapping paper, but you know it’ll be something you’ll love or hate passionately.
Keep your ear to the ground, pop the kettle on, and enjoy the ride. Because whether it’s a brash young star or a veteran actor with a twinkle in their eye, one thing is certain: the universe is getting a new hero. And that’s always worth a little bit of gossip.
