There have been 13 “official” Doctors in the increasingly confusing world of Doctor Who. While there have been deviations in this in the form of spin-offs and specials, the Doctor role remains coveted, and when a new one makes their way through the Tardis and onto TV screens, it’s an event. With Jodie Whittaker, the current Doctor, stepping down from the role next year, the hunt for a new Doctor is on. Who’s it going to be? Well, if you ask Whoopi Goldberg, it should be Whoopi Goldberg. Per Deadline, Goldberg told the crowd at the Edinburgh TV Festival, where she was named this year’s International Icon, that she wants the gig and has been interested in it for a while. Who are we to deny an EGOT winner her dream?
