Doctor Who: 14 Actors Who Will NEVER Be The 14th Doctor

14. Jo Martin

A lot of people want more from Jo Martin's Fugitive Doctor, with many suggesting that she take on the role of the next Doctor. Hate to break it to you, but it's never going to happen.

From her first appearance to (presumably) the centenary special later this year, she has always been intended to return some mystery back to the character of the Doctor. Having a whole era to herself would strip away any of the enigmatic appeal of her incarnation.

Jo Martin is terrific, but like John Hurt she's destined to be an incarnation that reflects how far the Doctor has come since her mysterious origins. Not only that, but can you honestly see Russell T Davies, who oversaw an era of Doctor Who as "the man who never would" launching his new era with a gun-toting Doctor?

Don't worry, I'm sure she'll keep Big Finish in material for decades to come.
