It’s been less than two years since Rwandan-Scottish actor Ncuti Gatwa was unveiled as the 15th Doctor in BBC sci-fi Doctor Who.
But now there are reports that he’s set to hang up the sonic screwdriver after just two series - with no third season yet confirmed by Disney and the BBC, who co-own the frachaise.
The rumours have inevitably led to speculation about who will be the next actor to play the Timelord.
Here are the 9 favourites, according to the bookies.
9. Hugh Grant
It would be a huge coup for Doctor Who if British acting legend Hugh Grant took on the role - he's currently enjoying a late-career hot streak thanks to award-nominated roles in the likes of Paddington 2 and Heretic. The bookies reckon there's a chance - with odds of 12/1. | AFP via Getty Images
