If the Doctor is going to be recast now, Jo continuing her role would be the best option. In the meantime though, the bookies’ odds are on other actors. Kris Marshall and Michaela Coel

currently lead the race, with Richard Ayoade and Michael Sheen following close by.  Jo is currently sixth, with odds of 16/1. Jodie’s departure from the science fiction show has not been

confirmed yet, with the BBC refusing to comment on any speculation.  _DOCTOR WHO RETURNS TO BBC ONE LATER IN THE YEAR._
