So you'll all have seen the announcement that Matt Smith is to leave the series at the end of the year.
That's a long time.
A long time to speculate needlessly, pointlessly and above all frivolously about his replacement.
It is, however, important - in a world where journalism is basically reduced to interns reproducing press releases about bogus scientific formulae that prove an annual holiday in Skegness is the true secret of eternal happiness - to not become a grumbling curmudgeon and embrace the fun. So here goes:
Dave's list of wholly credible contenders for the role of the next Doctor....
Martin Freeman 3-2 on
Jim Howick evens
Bradley Wiggins 3-1
Steve Backshall 11-4
Brian Blessed 13-2
Casey Kasem 15-1
Tony Gardner 20-1
Helen Skelton 33-1
Robbie Savage 40-1
David Beckham no bets being taken
Justin Fletcher 50-1
Sofie Gråbøl 66-1
Henry Blofeld 200-1
Now get yourself down to BetFred and if you follow my advice you'll have a pony on Justin or Sofie.
