Nesbitt to become next Doctor?

Cold Feet actor James Nesbitt is rumoured to be in line to become the 11th Doctor, following the predicted departure of David Tennant.

If Nesbitt did get the part, he would be the first Northern Irish actor to take the role, following on from Tennant who is the second Scottish actor to play the part.

Nesbitt is currently working with one of the programme's writers, Steven Moffat, on the BBC 1 drama Jekyll.

Moffat is the favourite to take over from the show's producer Russel T Davies, when he quits the show at the end of the next series.

An insider told The Sun"Moffat has worked with James on Jekyll and the talk is that he's a shoo-in as the next Doctor."
