Helena Bonham Carter

Who? The 50-year-old Helena Bonham Carter has been lucky enough to find both commercial success and the praise of her peers. As well as being nominated for two Oscars, she’s known for her many collaborations with ex-partner Tim Burton and for playing Death Eater Bellatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter movies.

Why She’d Be Great? A name that often pops up on fancasting lists for Doctor Who, Helena Bonham Carter has one of The Doctor’s core traits down pat – his innate British eccentricity. HBC has a natural affinity for quirky roles and we just know that she’d excel as the Time Lord.

Likelihood? As undoubtedly awesome as she would be, Bonham Carter is just far too in-demand to devote herself to a full-time role like Doctor Who. However, she has played several short-term roles for the BBC in recent years – including miniseries Love, Nina only last year – so she is a more likely candidate than Tilda Swinton.

Odds: 5/10
