The latest series of BBC sci-fi favourite Doctor Who went out with a bang - and a surprise regeneration - a couple of weeks ago.
It marked the end of time travel for Rwandan-Scottish actor Ncuti Gatwa , who had played the 15th Doctor for under two years.
And it signalled an escalation of speculation about what is next for the programme.
There’s even talk of it being the end of the road for the iconic series, which has been suffering from tumbling ratings - Disney and the BBC, who co-own the frachaise, have yet to make a decision on whether a new series will be made.
If it is to continue, the bookies have an idea who might step into the main role - here are the 13 favourites to take over ownership of the sonic screwdriver, according to the experts at gambling.com.
5. Hugh Grant - 3/1
It would be a huge coup for Doctor Who if British acting legend Hugh Grant took on the role - he's currently enjoying a late-career hot streak thanks to award-nominated roles in the likes of 'Paddington 2' and 'Heretic'. The bookies reckon there's a chance - with odds of 3/1. | Getty Images
6. Jo Martin - 3/1
Jo Martin has already been Doctor Who - kind of. She has played the Fugitive Doctor since 2020. Also known for appearing in 'The Crouches', 'Holby City' and 'Dreaming Whilst Black', she's a 3/1 shot to be promoted to the lead role. | Getty Images for BFI
7. Danny Dyer - 7/2
Fresh from winning the Bafta for Best Male Comedy Performace for 'Mr Bigstuff', 'Eastenders' favourite Danny Dyer is 2/1 to take on Doctor Who next. There's little he's not done in showbiz, from being one of Harold Pinter's favourite theatre actors to presenting gameshow 'The Wall'. | Getty Images for the NTA's
8. Tom Hiddleston - 4/1
No stranger to huge franchaises, English actor Tom Hiddleston is best known for playing trickster god Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He's 4/1 to become the latest holder of the sonic screwdriver. | Getty Images for SXSW London
