Doctor Who: 10 Female Doctors That Might Actually Happen

5. Olivia Williams

Probably more famous in America than she is in the UK, Olivia Williams is best known for her starring role as Adelle DeWitt in Joss Whedon's Dollhouse. She has also been on stage with none other than Sir Ian McKellen (whose Doctor Who credentials can be seen here) in Shakespeare's Richard III. So she would join the long line of Shakespearian talents to step into the TARDIS. She has some comedy background, too, as one of her first roles was in the Wes Anderson comedy Rushmore. Anyone remember that? Well, you might remember her as Bruce Willis' wife in the Hollywood blockbuster The Sixth Sense instead.

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.
