David Walliams would love to play Doctor Who.
The 49-year-old comedian-and-author has long been a fan of the BBC sci-fi series and would love to become the Fourteenth Doctor when Jodie Whittaker – who took over from Peter Capaldi in 2017 – decides to give up control of the TARDIS.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column, David said: "I’d absolutely love to play the Doctor one day. It is one of those iconic roles you couldn’t run down."
However, the ‘Little Britain’ star thinks showrunner Chris Chibnall wouldn’t give him a look-in for the part, but he won’t let that deter his dream.
He added: "It is highly unlikely I’d ever be asked but obviously I’d jump at the chance to do it."
The ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ judge has acted in the ‘Doctor Who’ universe before.
In 2011, he played frightened mole-like alien Gibbis in the episode ‘The God Complex’, in which he was trapped in an endless shifting maze along with the Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith) being pursued by a Minotaur.
Walliams also performed in the Big Finish Productions ‘Doctor Who’ audio play ‘Phantasmagoria’, which was written by Mark Gatiss in 1999.
Jodie, 37, made history when she was unveiled as the very first female Doctor and, unfortunately for David, she hopes to "cling on tight" to the role as the Time Lord for a few more years.
