Barack Obama is available, and so is Michelle Obama.

Look forward to a lot of speculation about a woman Doctor, and then have another guy named for the part. I think we'll see a black (British) Doctor before we see a female Doctor. Female Time Lords, sure, but I don't think we'll see a female Doctor just yet.

OTOH, just thinking out loud, with the Master being Missy right now, I could see next season turning into one long Girl Fight.

Tom Baker was always my favorite.

In the renewal of the series, I liked Tenet,
but thought that Matt Smith added more
eccentricities that’s what I liked about
Tom Baker’s portrayal.

I watched the Capaldi episodes, but I wasn’t impressed.

What’s interesting to me is how over the top girly the Master’s Missy is and how that mirrors the short’s earlier portrayal of the Doctor as a girly woman.

I think part of the idea might be that, aside from comedic value, it may be believed that some guys think women are secretly girly-ier than they act so if such a fellow were suddenly actually transformed, as opposed to medical mutilation, they would then gravitate towards extravagent female behavior.

So Missy, it may someday be revealed, has turned the Master’s secret lair into a collision of Victorian and plushie nightmare.

In fact, when they decide to unMissy the Master it might be a good idea for the Doctor and he to run into each other:

Doctor: You speak as if we know each other?

Master: Of course! Perfect! We fight against each other across all time and space, to the very end of the universe and he doesn’t recognize me ... again. (takes a swig from a bottle)

Doctor: Ah, I see ... what are you up to these days? And should you be drinking that much?

Master: Black and pink lace. Dolls everywhere.

Doctor: I beg your pardon?

Master: You asked be what I was up to. I’m up to trying to forget being Missy.

Doctor: Is it working?

Master: No. But no harm in the try. ... That new companion of yours, the goth girl ... does she need anything for her room in the TARDIS?

Doctor: Was it really that bad?

Master (laughs): Not at all. I enjoyed every last moment and the schemes were first rate first to last! But on returning to ... my old self ... I learned something unpleasant about myself. All the things I’ve been, I never imagined I had such a low opinion of what Time Ladies really were like beneath the facade ... why, I practically think they’re HUMAN! ... No, that’s not true, more like Gresaltan.

Doctor: So you think you owe them an apology?

Master: I don’t do apologies!

Doctor: Ergo you’re drinking and clearing out your place.

Master: Affirmative!

Doctor: And you do not have anything to do with what is happening here...

Master: Happening?

(prelude to a one time team up)

You need someone with a quick whit, a true character, and something of a troll. I present:

Donald Trump!

Make the Doctor Great Again!

I really liked Capaldi and have watched the series since the Pertwee era.

Hate to see him go.

I stand in solid support of Steve Martin, Woody Allen, et al. as strong candidates for the role of Doctor Who. They are well qualified and experienced in key aspects of time travel. I yield my remaining minutes.

Chuck Norris. The Daleks would exterminate themselves.

Baker was mine, too, followed by Tennant. I liked Colin Baker, too, but he wasn’t there long iirc. Patrick Troughton was my first. I liked his Beatle haircut and hair coat.

Oh my God, you’re right!

Of course, Trump would’ve gotten through the diamond walls billions of years sooner, using his hair.

Matt Smith was already on the 12th regeneration, but the High Council of Time Lords gave him more regenerations on Christmas.
