Hmmm. Not very familiar with Nina Sosanya. But I'd take her over Idris Elba (he should be Bond!).

When I finally getting around to writing 'my' Doctor Who stories, she will be who I will be picturing in my head. Not that Sophie Okenedo, as I've said before to you, wouldn't make for an excellent Doctor; having been, though unacknowledged the current incarnations showrunners, the first non-white companion as well as one of the new show's more memorable guest stars.

"I'm the bloody Doctor, mate!"
