Doctor Piper? 

Swindon star could be the next Time Lord

 

Taking on the role?: Could Billie Piper be in line to play the next Time Lord?

With the announcment last week that David Tennant will be stepping down as the latest Doctor - the role is up for grabs.

 

And rumour has it our Swindon girl Billie Piper could be a surprise candidate.

 

When asked in a BBC interview if his former assistant could be his replacement, he said, 'Why not?'.

 

"It's a role that any actor could bring something valid to because it can be anything and it's a sort of a blank canvas every time," David said.

 

"It's not like you're casting Tarzan where you've got someone who looks good in a loin cloth."

 

So, with the position of Time Lord open for all - let's hope the 11th Doctor is our star from Swindon.
