London
(ANI):
Goodness
Gracious
Me's
Meera
Syal
might
be
the
next
'Doctor
Who',
according
to
sources.
According
to
reports,
BBC
chiefs
may
pick
an
ethnic
doctor
to
take
over
from
David
Tennant
in
the
New
Year.
Comic
Catherine
Tate
is
also
in
the
frame
to
be
the
first
Time
Lady
in
the
show's
history,
reports
the
Sun.
A
source
said:
"The
BBC
really
wants
to
shake
things
up.
There
is
no
reason
storyline
wise
why
the
Doctor
cannot
be
a
woman
and
from
any
ethnic
background.
The
Doctor
has
morphed
before
and
will
do
so
again.
To
keep
the
edge
they
need
to
change
and
update
the
show
otherwise
there
is
a
danger
it
will
look
tired."
