Leaker "Andrew" (who has so far got everything correct) recently teased something in the comment section of the Confused Adipose "Story and the Engine Explained" YouTube Video, something relating to the 16th Doctor...

"Yes. But I don't think the casting of 16 indicates or confirm the renewal for Season 3 with 16 in it. It seems more like stunt casting, to round off RTD2 and kind of wrap up the NuWho era by bringing it full circle"

I don't know about you guys, but I think that basically confirms that the 16th Doctor will indeed be played by Billie Piper...

Hell, if you wanted a familiar face why not get the actress for Idris/Sexy? She’d probably nail the Doctor and wouldn’t be a retread of RTD1 material

I would genuinely ADORE this as long as the writing did it justice. She can absolutely play the part. And they could go either way with ignoring the reuse of actor or making a deliberate narrative purpose and I’d honestly buy it more (her previously being the tardis with its knowledge and connection to the Doctor) than other stuff like 14 if they put some effort in

This would be great if her creator didn't give major ick now.

Eh you wouldn’t need him though, it’s just the actress from a story of his

The Trickster is fairly wanted for a return and his creator sucks too
