Doctor Who producers have hinted that the next Time Lord will be another woman.

Production notes for the next series of the BBC's sci-fi show suggest a female will be starring yet again as It's A Sin's Lydia West is widely tipped to take over, The Mirror reports.

Current Time Lord Jodie Whittaker's role comes to an end this autumn with a regeneration episode after she became the first ever female Doctor in 2017.

Jodie herself recently called for another female doctor to take over the role.

She told Radio 1's Vick Hope and Jordan North: 'If we had the power to choose I'm going to pick an actress who I think is really exciting and I think would be phenomenal, an actress called Lydia West. If I had the power!'

Lydia is bookmaker Coral's favorite to replace Jodie at 3-1 odds, while Fisayo Akinade and Omari Douglas (both 5-1) are joint second favorites and Olly Alexander comes next in the betting at 6-1.

i like Jodie but they have really tamed the series down quite a bit - it is nowhere near as exciting as the days of Matt Smith; for a show that only has about eight episodes per year they aren't really building up the excitement any more. They need to find a way to keep actors longer and stop switching so frequently
