While conversation about the next Doctor Who continues, Death in Paradise star Ben Miller recently hinted at taking on the role and succeeding Jodie Whittaker. The actor also appeared on ITV to address his history with the science-fiction series.
Ben Miller joined presenters Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard for an episode of Good Morning Britain, where he was quizzed about becoming the next Time Lord.
Speaking to the actor, Ben Shephard asked: “You turned it down, in a previous incarnation early on in your career?”
“No, I turned a meeting down, it’s not quite the same thing,” Ben Miller corrected.
“There’s a lot of meetings that go on,” the 55-year-old actor laughed, “I have no chance whatsoever of being Doctor Who.”

Although Jodie’s portrayal of the Doctor was monumental as the first female Time Lord, she announced her departure after three seasons.
In a statement, she said: “My heart is so full of love for this show, for the team who make it, for the fans who watch it, and for what it has brought to my life.
“I don’t think I’ll ever be able to express what this role has given me. I will carry the Doctor and the lessons I’ve learnt forever, the actress concluded.”
While the Sheriff of Nottingham did die in season eight, Ben does stand a chance and could reincarnate into the Doctor.
Ben initially appeared on Good Morning Britain to discuss a different reincarnation, one involving his character on Bridgerton.
Discussing the likelihood of Lord Featherin returning to the Netflix hit periodic drama, the actor joked: “In Death In Paradise, I came back as a ghost so anything is possible.”
With that being said, Doctor Who fans will have to keep an eye out for potential announcements as Jodie’s departure date approaches.
Doctor Who is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
