9. Suranne Jones
Her Companion: Colin Morgan The connection here is that they have both at some time been leads of their own shows on British television but I do think the two would work well together. Morgan's wide-eyed innocent shtick would gel nicely with Suranne Jones' sparklingly smart one. Loads of Saturday night viewers of Merlin have him down as a good choice for Doctor twelve but I see him as being far more suited to the role of companion. He is a good actor, just a different sort of good. Her Master: Lesley Sharpe On 'Scott and Bailey' these two actresses proved they have great rapport and in classic Doctor Who story Midnight Lesley Sharpe proved she could play evil malevolence with terrifying efficiency. These two would be just as great facing off against each other as they are working together on screen. Her Doctor Suranne Jones pretty much did play the Doctor, with her bonkers portrayal of the TARDIS in 'The Doctor's Wife'. She proved she could match him in his fast paced dialogue, his clear position of 'cleverest man in the room' and pulled off the quirky side of the Doctor/ TARDIS well too. She would be an astonishingly good Doctor. I'm surprised she's not already cast.
