The odds have slowly been shifting toward a female Doctor, and now stand at 5/4 that the next Doctor will make history as the first woman in the role.
It’s fantastic to see that a woman might finally get to pilot the TARDIS – as the official Doctor, that is.
Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes said: “Whovian punters are becoming increasingly convinced the next Doctor will be female, and fingers are currently pointing towards Swinton.”
Swinton in particular would be a fantastic choice, with more than enough talent at playing odd and eccentric characters to do the Doctor justice.
