Fiona O’Shaughnessy
If you have not seen the series UTOPIA I urge you to stop whatever you are doing and secure this awesome show by any means necessary then watch all 6 episodes…go ahead, I’ll wait.
You done? Good now that you have seen UTOPIA and witnessed O’Shaughnessy’s enigmatic turn as the mysterious Jessica Hyde you should understand why i think she would make a great Doctor. She has an almost alien like quality to her and she could bring that to the role to make the Doctor seem more like the visitor from another planet and not just an eccentric weirdo.

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!

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.

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.

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.
