Just What Holby Doc Ordered: Jo As Who

Fans want star to replace departing Time Lord Jodie

- Nicola Methven TV Editor

Doctor Who fans are calling for Jo Martin to become the 14th Time Lord when Jodie Whittaker quits at the end of this year.

Holby City star Martin was a hit when she guest-starred in the last series as the gun-toting “Fugitive Doctor” – a fellow alien from Gallifrey on the run from galactic mercenary police.

BBC bosses are staying silent on the Mirror’s revelation that Whittaker is to leave after nearly five years in the role.

But viewers think show-runner Chris Chibnall could have provided a glimpse of the future, and Whittaker will regenerate into Martin in the 2021 series.

Doctor Who expert Tom Bacon, of Screen Rant, reckons it would make sense.
