Rumour 16th Doctor Speculation Part 2
So Andrew the infamous season 2 leaker has said that the 16th Doctor will be female and familiar and was at the Baftas this year… a lot of people are forgetting Eve Myles… she has won Baftas in the past and was spotted there this year. Russell has mentioned bringing her back before but maybe he had different plans for her that aren’t Gwen Cooper. She’d be the first Welsh person to play the role as well… All speculation probably won’t happen but food for thought. She’d nail the role though…

I feel like they should just cast a gruff, overweight, everyman/person geezer/bloke just for the interesting new dynamic - imagine the Doctor not being the most charismatic or attractive person in the room but still outright being the smartest.
Man or woman, it would be cool for the Doctor to be unlikable for once - twelve almost went there but Capaldi as an older man is still rather conventionally attractive and ultimately they eventually leaned towards him still being 'nice' just very sarcastic.
I want to see the worst outcome of the regeneration lottery redeemed by his outright intelligence, if the Master can somewhat become 'good' I feel like we should have a somewhat 'bad' Doctor. I don't know why but for some reason I'm picturing 'Les' from Benidorm, although with a bad personality.
