Couldn't really see any logic in that when they invested a lot in drama facilities in Cardiff and with production quoters for the nations that would helps easily fill.
It's a bit more surprising Doctors has never moved out of Birmingham though.
Rumours also circulating that the next Doctor will be female, according to twitter of course. I wont watch it if it is a lady as I believe that writers should create great, strong roles for women, not let them take on a role that is traditionally a male role just for the sake of it. I still havent accepted Missy as the Master yet.
I have a problem with people like Harriet Harmon trying to dictate what producers should do and to simply choose a female actor for the role just for the sake of pleasing people like that what be totally unfair on the actor and not in the interests of the show.
If an eccentric strong female who can carry the show emerges then so be it. But they'd be making a mistake if they just limited themselves to female choices to please certain voices.
