VH1 have conducted an interview with White Queen star Aneurin Barnard who had the following to say about this summer’s rumours linking him with a Doctor Who
One project he would be very keen to jump into is Doctor Who. Barnard quipped earlier this summer that he’d love to be involved in the popular sci-fi franchise and British journalists (and bookies) took this to mean he was up for the role of the Doctor. On the day that the BBC was set to announce the new Doctor during a live broadcast, Barnard was one of the top three picks.
“I was having a very relaxed Sunday and all of a sudden the bookies favored me as second favorite to be [the Doctor in] Doctor Who. I had not had one meeting with anyone about becoming the next [Doctor], but somehow it leaked out that I was a favorite and that’s quite lovely to be put in that situation, but,” he laughed, “I wasn’t going to become it unless BBC Studio was about to turn up on my doorstep and ask me to play him on that day live on television.”
The new Doctor is of course going to be played by Peter Capaldi, but Barnard “would still love to do something with the Doctor Who franchise at some point because I know they have a lot of fun.”
Maybe the Doctor needs a new male companion?
