Casting A Female Doctor Who

Lenora appeared on the third season of the current DOCTOR WHO in he Gridlock episode. She didn’t have much to do in that episode but having watched her in both BEING HUMAN and SUGAR RUSH (a really underrated show that I recommend wholeheartedly) she has shown great acting chops and range. I think she would bring a certain level of sassiness to the role and she is very deft at plain humor which wouldn’t hurt at all.

  1. Really interesting article. I’m not familiar with the actress from Utopia, but your other four choices are all great. I think we have to see Helen Mirren in the show sometime in any role, but her being the Doctor would be even better!

    1. I would love to see Helen Mirren on Who in any role personally.
      And I can’t recommend Utopia enough…its only six episodes so if you are ever in search of a new series to watch I suggest you check it out.

  2. Good god! did you just google some female actresses and thought “that’ll do”, obviously you’ve never watched or maybe even heard of Dr Who, i’m not adverse to having a female doctor if they are right for the lead but not just for the sake of having a female doctor, there are a very few female British actresses who could pull this off and you’ve not picked one. Try harder.

    1. My you are chock full of prickish opinions, aren’t you?
      Feel free to school me on the very few Brit actresses who could pull it off since you are so wise in the ways of Who.
