Olivia Colman
It has not been that long ago that David Tennant joked about Chris Chibnall talking to Olivia Colman behind his back and casting her as the next Doctor. As everyone knows, she did not get the role. David Tennant’s thoughts were not right. In this article by Susanna Lazarus, we see that Oliva does want to play a part in Doctor Who.
Whether she auditioned for the role of the Doctor is unclear. The one thing we see is that she wishes to play a part in Doctor Who. As actors and actress are concerned, there are probably many who want to be in Doctor Who. And Colman isn’t any different. Doctor Who is one of the greatest shows of all time and everybody wants to be in it. Even fans like you and me. So, it does not surprise me that she does.
What gets me in all of this, is that her children ask her why she has not done Doctor Who. Now, that is something which hits home. Even her kids want her to do Doctor Who. Wow, how great is that. Having kids like that will push you to find a way onto the set of Doctor Who.
Of course, when it comes to actors and actresses, Chibnall and other producer know who they like and what they want. I don’t doubt that he may have plans for Colman somewhere on Doctor Who. They have worked together on Broadchurch. Therefore, he knows what he is getting.
Honestly, this would be a good idea because they know each other so well. Chibnall and Colman will be good together on Doctor Who because they work well together on Broadchurch.
In conclusion, who knows what is going to happen. Colman may play the horrible biddy she refers to in the article. There is the possibility this could happen, but as fans, we don’t know.
