In the fantastical world of sci-fi dramas, there is no limits on how crazy things can get, especially on shows like 'Doctor Who.'

The long-running British series has gained some heavy traction with its many viewers, and it was recently revealed from a fan Q&A that 'Agent Carter' actress Haley Atwell is indeed a fan herself.

When she was asked what character she would love to portray on the show, she simply retorts, "I'd like to BE Doctor Who."

The statement shocked and delighted, as for the series' 8 long seasons, a female doctor has yet to appear or even be hinted for the future.

"Although the dozen past and current versions of the show's title character have been portrayed by white men - a fact criticized by some viewers who'd prefer more Doctor diversity - there's no narrative reason the character couldn't come back from one of his frequent reincarnations as a woman. Indeed, the Doctor's own nemesis the Master recently reappeared in a new female form," writes EW.

It's unknown if the show ever plans to enlist a female Doctor Who, however a cast member has stated it to be a possibility in a Comic-Con panel.

"I'm sure it will happen at some point. I think it's just about casting the right actor," said Jenna Coleman.

Atwell certainly has a lot of fan support behind her which already makes her a viable candidate for the role.

Spectators will just have to await the response from the series' showrunner Steven Moffat to make his decision.
