Rejected petition The BBC must replace Peter Capaldi with Danny Dyer as the next Doctor Who

Peter Capaldi has recently announced that he will no longer continue in the role of the Time Lord. My understanding is that Danny Dyer has a contract in Eastenders until October this year. Mr Dyer should then move into the position of the new Doctor.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The BBC is an independent body governed by a Royal Charter. Under the terms of that Charter, the BBC is operationally and editorially independent of government and there is no provision for the government to intervene in the BBC’s day-to-day operations.

You might like to write to the BBC to make this suggestion.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
