Happy Introverts Day, everyone! On behalf of my fellow introverts, I think this really does say it all about what it can be like some days.

Wee Doctor Bea?

I could not be happier. 

There have been some great guest stars on Doctor Who over the years, some before they were famous, and some after: Kylie Minogue, Nick Frost, James Corden, Michael Sheen and Sir Ian McKellen in voice-over only appearances, Carey Mulligan, John Cleese, Felicity Jones, Simon Pegg, and so on, and I'm pleased and excited to see Irish comedian/actor Aisling Bea join the list and bring her particular brand of deadpan lunacy to the show with her upcoming appearance on the 2022 New Year's Special.

My god, imagine if she ended up as the next Doctor.  There's some precedent for this, it wouldn't be the first time that guest stars on the show have found their way into starring roles - after all, Peter Capaldi played a Roman marble merchant in season 4* of Doctor Who before he found his way to the helm of the TARDIS.

Is it too soon to start an e-mail campaign or a petition or something?

* Coincidentally, Karen Gillan also made her first pre-companion Doctor Who appearance in the same episode.
