Burglars force entry and attack man aged 21

It ended with the words: “Meet the 13th Doctor after the Wimbledon Men’s Final ... Sunday 16th July”.

Death In Paradise star Kris Marshall is the odds-on favourite to succeed Capaldi, according to bookies Coral.

The My Family actor can be backed at 10/11, while Fleabag creator and actress Phoebe WallerBridge is second at 9/4.

Jodie Whittaker (4/1), Michaela Coel (8/1), Tilda Swinton (10/1), Natalie Dormer (12/1), Tom Rosenthal (14/1) and David Harewood (14/1) are also in the running.

Coral’s John Hill said: “Over 80% of the bets we have taken in this market in the last 48 hours have been for Kris Marshall, who is now odds-on to be confirmed as the next Time Lord.”

Capaldi said last week his regeneration as the Time Lord will be “more complicated than recent ones.”
