Doctor Who bosses ‘want Sex Education star Tanya Reynolds as new assistant’

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Doctor Who’ bosses reportedly want Tanya Reynolds as the new assistant.
The ‘Sex Education’ star – who plays androgynous bisexual character Lily Iglehart in the hit Netflix show – is being lined up by producers for the BBC sci-fi show to join the next Doctor in the TARDIS for the new series when the show starts filming again in April.
A source told The Sun newspaper’s TV Biz column: “If Tanya becomes the Doctor’s new companion, she’d be a unique sidekick in comparison to the likes of Billie Piper or Jenna Coleman.
“But that’s the whole point of the reinvented ‘Doctor Who’ – they want to create a very different version of the time-travelling adventures.
“Since they’re likely to be hiring a very different actor to play the Time Lord, it makes sense to select an unusual companion for them.”
However, the report suggested Tanya could potentially be tempted to take on “a lesser role” in the show due to the huge commitment which comes with such a big part.
The insider added: “It will be a dilemma for Tanya, who may end up taking a lesser role on the cast because she knows that being a companion can be just as long a commitment as playing the Doctor.”
Fans are eagerly awaiting news on who will replace Jodie Whittaker on the show, and earlier this month it was said Fady Elsayed – who starred in ‘Doctor Who’ spin-off ‘Class’ in 2016 – is in line for the iconic role.
A source said: “Fady would be a very different Doctor – but that’s precisely what the creators want.”
However, a number of alternative names have previously been tipped for the coveted role of the Doctor, including Omari Douglas and Lydia West, who starred in the hit Channel 4 drama ‘It’s A Sin’.
