As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but share my excitement over Danny Dyer‘s recent musings about potentially stepping into the TARDIS as a future Doctor Who! The East End legend has some intriguing concepts up his sleeve for this iconic role.
The performer who is known for roles in “EastEnders” and “Marching Powder” shared his thoughts at the premiere of “Mr Bigstuff” season 2 (as reported by “The Mirror”). There, he expressed his fascination about the opportunity to enter the TARDIS.
He remarked: “This action is remarkably symbolic, somewhat resembling the signature moves of James Bond, a character cherished by countless fans worldwide.
With “Doctor Who,” you have the chance to introduce something unconventional, perhaps a touch eccentric or stylish, which I greatly enjoy. I adore this concept.
What characteristics might the Danny Dyer version of the Doctor have? He hinted that his reincarnation would likely embody a very working-class Doctor Who, and perhaps he’d exhibit some assertive or dominant traits as well.

Understand the original statement: The speaker is implying that they are not here for entertainment or to act out a role (specifically, playing Doctor Who), but rather, they have a specific job to perform based on the reason they were hired.
I’m not here to entertain you by pretending to be someone else; I have a job to do because that’s why you brought me here. (In this case, “pretending to be someone else” could be replaced with “play Doctor Who,” but the meaning remains the same.)
Hasn’t it been the case that Doctor Who has never been portrayed as a member of the working class before, right? But with Jodie Whittaker, there was a hint of that aspect.
As a gamer, I’ll confess that tackling The Doctor character feels like a demanding task. To put it bluntly, some of the lines he delivers are lengthy monologues, discussing topics that can leave me scratching my head.

Dyer concluded: “I’ll be honest, no one’s ever approached me about it.
Occasionally I observe things, and my chances of doing this particular thing have significantly improved; it’s definitely a possibility worth exploring.”
In related news, Doctor Who‘s Billie Piper has shared reasons why the franchise is now distinctly different from what it was 20 years ago.
You can watch both EastEnders and Doctor Who on BBC iPlayer. This week, Mr Bigstuff is back on Sky and NOW.
