London
(ANI):
After
Daniel
Craig
backed
the
idea
of
a
black
James
Bond
following
Barack
Obama's
win,
BBC
bosses
are
in
talks
with
Hollywood
actor
Colin
Salmon
to
be
cast
as
the
first
black
Doctor
Who.
Colin,
who
has
appeared
in
Bond
flicks
earlier
as
M's
assistant
in
three
007
flicks,
will
replace
David
Tenant
in
Doctor
Who."He
made
a
good
impression
when
he
appeared
and
bosses
think
the
time
is
right
to
have
the
first
black
Doctor," The
Sun
quoted
BBC
spokesman,
as
saying.
Colin
was
earlier
tipped
as
the
next
Bond
before
it
went
to
Daniel
Craig.
Craig,
who
was
himself
the
target
of
much
criticism
for
being
the
first
'blonde
Bond',
humoured
the
idea
of
a
black
007
at
a
press
conference
before
the
Italian
premier
of
his
latest
Bond
film
Quantum
of
Solace.
"After
Barack
Obama's
victory
I
think
we
might
have
reached
the
moment
for
a
coloured
007," he
told
Agi
news
agency.
"I
think
the
role
could
easily
be
played
by
a
black
actor,
because
the
character
created
by
Ian
Fleming
in
the
Fifties
has
undergone
a
great
deal
of
evolution
and
continues
to
be
updated,"
Craig
added.
