RUMOUR: Rory Kinnear offered 12th Doctor role?

The BBC has reportedly offered Rory Kinnear the role of the Twelfth Doctor in Doctor Who.
A “source” has told the Telegraph he’s “the perfect choice” to take over the TARDIS when Matt Smith regenerates in this year’s “spectacular” Christmas Special. “We are waiting to hear if he will accept,” they’ve said.
Rory has worked with the Royal Shakespeare Company and his screen credits include Black Mirror and James Bond.
The claim comes after it was alleged the BBC were planning to announce the identity of the Twelfth Doctor actor this weekend, however the rumours have been swiftly denied.
Who’s your perfect 12th Doctor? Let us know in our new dedicated discussion!
i think hes a very good choice i never like when the doctor changes but if this rumor is true im really optimistic about this fella he looks like he can be the doctor and looks a wee bit older in a good way as the doctor matt smith is doing is the youngest but all in all i hope this guy dose become the next :)
MHHH. I’m skeptical of this rumour.
Rumours are exactly what they are….. rumours!!! like Steven Moffatt told us… don’t believe everything you hear
This seems suspiciously quick, but we’ll have to see. They could certainly pick worse choices.
Also, while I love Matt Smith as the Doctor, I’d rather it was somebody who is actually older than me. Admittedly, as I approach the mean age of Doctors, that gets harder. But dammit I want to delay that moment! Smith really lowered the average. :-P
