The rumour machine has gone into overdrive
’s brilliant pantomime villain. Doctor Who is known for wide-eyed optimism and an almost childish sense of fun. Could Hugh pull that off?
At 61 years old, he’d be the oldest Doctor yet. By comparison, Paul McGann, who played the Doctor over 25 years ago, is only a year older. It would also mean a return to a straight white man, after the refreshing change of Jodie Whittaker’s Time Lord.-style makeover’ but, on a BBC budget, it seems unlikely to rival Doctor Strange in the special effects stakes.
Meanwhile, Hugh himself has quelled speculation by tweeting: ‘Nothing against Dr W but I’m not. No idea where the story came from.’ So it looks like the race to be the 14th Doctor Who is wide open… unless he’s double bluffing of course, which would be a very Doctor Who thing to do.
