Could “Absolutely Fabulous” star Jennifer Saunders really be in talks to play the first female incarnation of The Doctor for a one-time special episode? According to The Sun, it’s true.

Earlier this month current Doctor David Tennant’s co-star Catherine Tate let slip during a radio interview that it could be his last series as the Doctor. Tennant later denied the claim, saying he hasn’t made up his mind yet about continuing, but he is committed to still shooting the fourth season and at least four TV specials after that.

I have no doubt that Saunders could be an amazing incarnation of the Doctor, and it’s probably about time we had a woman in the role full time. It might open up some interesting story possibilities. We’ll just have to wait and see on this one.
