I did like him in Its a Sin.

I loved him in It's a Sin and think that he'll be fantastic if it's true.

I am not a huge Dr who fan, but I do like Olly so I'd be tempted to watch if he was, fingers crossed!

Charmtaste · 27/06/2021 17:26

I hoped it would be Regé-Jean Page. He was great in Bridgeton.

AbsolutelyPatsy · 27/06/2021 18:02

oh yes Rege is gorgeous

Ohhh! I wonder how likely this is. I know of Olly Alexander, seen his pictures online but not watched him in anything. I mean, I think perhaps, he looks a little to young to play the Doctor. I know the Doctor can be anyone but I always like the Doctor being older! I was hoping for Michael Sheen. But I could potentially get on board with Olly, possibly! Ahh.

Oh Michael Sheen would be amazing!

AbsolutelyPatsy · 27/06/2021 19:01

totally on board with Michael Sheen

I read it as Oily Alexander and immediately thought it must be Armstrong

lazylinguist · 28/06/2021 22:18

I looooved Michael Sheen in Good Omens with David Tennant!

notawittyname1954 · 28/06/2021 23:38

think Olly would be great if he did do it.

So the current Dr is leaving? I wanted so much to like her but I thought the stories were too much like after school specials and I got tired of her lines constantly second guessing herself and asking if she could say "fam".

@Charmtaste

he's probably got his sights set on Hollywood now, after all the international attention that Bridgerton received.

Michael Sheen or Mike Wozniak for me.

HandforthParishCouncilClerk · 29/06/2021 01:38

I like Olly Alexander but I feel like the guy who played Colin would be a better fit for the Doctor…

RaraRachael · 29/06/2021 10:42

It's a no from me

Ellmau · 30/06/2021 11:06

Maybe as a companion. Not as the doctor.

They never announce a new Doctor before the old one has officially left. Which she hasn't. Everything is rumour and conjecture!
