David Tennant has commented on making Billi Piper his replacement on the hit TV show. Billie would be the first women to play the doctor if it were to happen.
He was asked on BBC Breakfast if Piper could land the role, he said:-
“Why not?”
Tennant added: “I think she’s busy breast feeding at the moment but I’m sure she’ll bounce back before long. It’s one of those parts that any actor could bring something valid to, because it can be anything and it’s a sort of blank canvas every time,” he said.
“The fact is that the difference is a virtue with each Doctor. It’s not like you’re casting Tarzan where you’ve got to have somebody who looks good in a loin cloth - it can be anything.”
