Doctor Who: 10 Female Doctors That Might Actually Happen

2. Katie McGrath

Yet another Merlin veteran. She's an Irish actress and given that the show has already had three Scottish Doctors and ten English ones, it's high time the rest of the UK got a look in, too. Maybe a Welsh actress could also be considered? Anyway, Katie McGrath played the terrifying and powerful Morgana Pendragon in the BBC drama Merlin from 2008 to 2012. The role saw her go from heroic princess to evil magical tyrant and McGrath showed some real acting talent through this transformation and displayed some stoic strength (with some often flaky scripts) along the way. Back in 2008 she got her first break in the Showtime historical drama The Tudors but more recently she has stared in the NBC/Sky Living horror drama Dracula. Clearly no stranger to the odd and the fantastical, she'd no doubt be a great addition to the Doctor's coveted regeneration line-up.

Joel Cornah, is an author hailing from a small isolated village in Lancashire. Having told stories of dinosaurs, penguins and dragons to his younger siblings for nigh on two decades, it soon became apparent that these tales needed to be written down. Gathering the myriad of maps, family trees, illustrations and noted ideas, he began work on the world of dyngard. Having grown along with the audience from a collection of loosely related children’s stories, it became a whole world of adventure, magic and questions. He was awarded a degree in Creative Writing from Liverpool John Moors University and spent seven years writing a comical newspaper for The Barrow Downs Tolkien discussion forum. Currently running a charity café in Parbold village, Joel is often found deep in discussion of the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, the long history of Doctor Who, and desperately trying not to frighten people away. Often with limited success.
