A source told The Sun: "She's in the running and we all think she would be fantastic."

Fans of the show were left stunned earlier this month when David Tennant's Dr Who co-star Catherine Tate let slip during a radio interview that it could be his last series.

 

Catherine, who plays Doctor Who's assistant Donna, confirmed that she too would be stepping down from the show after series four.

 

She told Jonathan Ross on his Radio 2 show: "I think it's maybe David's last series."

 

James Nesbitt is the widely pegged as the favourite to permanately replace David, with Welshman Rhys Ifans also rumoured to be in contention for the part.

:whatever:

 

Don't believe 'Who' rumors from the Sun. Not only are they dumb rumors, they never stop.

^It isn't from The Sun.:rolleyes:

These rumors always start with the Sun. :dozey:

Well just you wait and see - they might be right.:rolleyes:

 

Anyway, one thing's for sure - it could never be Dawn French, as she wouldn't fit in the Tardis!!:P

Better not be. Bad choice. Bad way to go.

 

The only rumor I've heard of all the many dumb ones that I actually like is Rhys Ifans- he's crazy enough. The James Nesbitt one was solidly debunked months ago.
