While in Glasgow promoting Robinson Crusoe and The Caribbean Pirates pantomime, John Barrowman, who plays Captain Jack Harkness in both Doctor Who and Torchwood proposed that the next time the good Doctor regenerates, she should be a lady.
“I think a female doctor might work, you never know,” said Barrowman. “The audience might not like that. I know there's a lot of young girls and women who would love that... I think that maybe they should go out on a limb next time and try it. That always stirs things up a little bit and makes things exciting and it's nice to see different things and challenges happen like that.”
Barrowman believes that having a female Doctor would be no big thing saying “Listen, if Captain Jack can be an omni-sexual time agent and an assistant to the Doctor, why can't we have a female Doctor?” Barrowman asked. Then later added “Put me in a dress and I'll be the female Doctor.”
The actor revealed, however, that his first choice for a female Doctor would be Catherine Tate, who has already appeared in 17 episodes of the show as Donna Noble. During the interview, Barrowman said Tate would make a “lovely Doctor.”
This is not to say that Barrowman is unhappy with the current Doctor, though. “Matt has put his mark on [the character] and rightfully so,” said Barrowman. “and he's a wonderful Doctor, but my Doctor will always be David (Tennant).”
Robinson Crusoe and The Caribbean Pirates will be staged from December at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre.
