Next Doctor Who Likely To Be Joseph Patterson According To Betting Odds
Thursday 30 October 2008 at 10:33
 Joseph Patterson is the favourite with Paddy Power to become the Next Doctor Who after David Tennant announced he would be stepping down from the role. If Joseph Patterson is given the role it would be a new era for Doctor Who – he would be the first black Doctor Who.
History To Be Made In Joseph Patterson£
Joseph Patterson may not be a name that everyone knows but Doctor Who fans will recognise that he has already appeared in two episodes as Roderick when Christopher Ecclestone played the Doctor. He has also appeared alongside Leonardo Di Caprio in The Beach and he played Johnson in Peep Show so has a decent profile and he rates a decent bet to be the next Doctor at 3/1 with Paddy Power.
Film Star Set To Return To Small Screen
David Morrisey, who has recently been plying his trade in films such as The Other Boleyn Girl, starring Eric Bana and Scarlett Johansson, is 5/1 with Paddy Power.
Will James Nesbitt Get Cold Feet Over The Role£
Another of the favourites, James Nesbitt, is well known for his TV roles such as Cold Feet and Murphy’s Law. He seems the ideal sort of character to play Doctor Who and it would be no surprise if TV bosses went for the Northern Irishman. Nesbitt is 6/1 with Paddy Power.
Life On Mars Star Is 8/1
John Simm is another TV favourite and recently starred in the immensely popular Life On Mars and he was also the star of The Lakes and has had film success in the form of Human Traffic. Simm is an 8/1 shot with Paddy Power.
Ricky Gervais And Vinnie Jones In The Running
Other interesting contenders at bigger prices include Jason Statham at 18/1 with Paddy Power, Ricky Gervais is 80/1 with Paddy Power and Vinnie Jones is 100/1 with Paddy Power. For a full list of possible Doctor Who actors visit the Paddy Power website.
