        @avantgame She said there should finally be a female doctor. I don’t think she was volunteering.

        .@avantgame in my alternate Who-niverse, Helen Mirren plays the next Doctor. She would be an epic Doctor.

        .@avantgame You do realize it's not a volunteer position? I volunteered as Walter White's podiatrist but that's also not gonna happen.

        @vickytnz @avantgame Helen Mirren and Peter Capaldi were in one season of Prime Suspect together. Just sayin'

        @avantgame Alex Kingston said she would be thrilled with Helen Mirren, as long as she got to kiss her.

        @canyou_sonicme I took "I wouldn't be able to kiss her" as meaning "wouldn't be allowed", not "wouldn't want to", but I may be wrong.

        @davehogg Correct, but it also isn't saying she'd said "as long as I get to kiss her" because that's putting words in her mouth.

        @canyou_sonicme If we agree she meant "I fear I wouldn't be allowed to kiss her," and then said there's a first time for everything (cont)

        @avantgame I think she would be to "big" a name for the Doctor. Claire Skinner would make an excellent Doctor.

        @avantgame Pretty sure next one's going to be a woman, I think the wanted someone kind of similar to the First Doctor for the 50th an. year.

        @avantgame With people complaining about the age of Capaldi the backlash over someone in their 60s would be atrocious.
