Eddie Izzard has revealed that he would love to be the next Doctor Who, and would jump at the job if it was offered to him.
Eddie, who is currently starring in US drama The Riches with Minnie Driver, said: “I would accept the part if it was offered to me.”
“I think David is doing a great job in the role. He may become even more popular than Tom Baker, who I thought was the best ever Doctor.
“Tom actually put my name forward for the part when the BBC brought the show back four years ago.”
Tom Baker said at the time: “Eddie would bring an alien quality to the part. He is so mysterious and strange and seems like he has a lot of secrets.”
Eddie recently revealed that he would consider launching a European political career in the future.
