Rory Kinnear has revealed he’s “totally certain” he won’t be cast as the next Doctor, despite tabloid claims suggesting he had already been offered the coveted role.

The Telegraph recently reported the actor was the “perfect choice” to pick up the mantle when Matt Smith exits in the Christmas Special. The Black Mirror star has responded to the rumours, as he tells the Independent he’s never even sat through an episode of the series. “I don’t know what this came from and how these stories evolve,” he said.

He added: “If I was an actor longing to play Doctor Who then this would be torturous but it’s a programme that I’ve never watched – I don’t even really know what it actually is!”
