Description
Another day, another potential candidate for the Doctor Who job – it’s been reported that actor Colin Salmon could become the first black Time Lord. BBC bosses are apparently keen for the James Bond star to replace David Tennant, who leaves in 2009, according to The Sun. Colin, best known for playing M’s assistant in three 007 films, appeared as Dr Moon in the sci-fi series earlier this year. A BBC source told the paper: “He made a good impression when he appeared and bosses think the time is right to have the first black Doctor.
