OFF: Big news for Doctor Who fans!!!!

[William Duffy]

Hi there

For any of you out there who are fans of Doctor Who, here is news from the
BBC's own web site:-

Doctor Who is back. This time he's fully animated, he's got a new body...
and he's on BBCi.


Richard E. Grant will play the ninth incarnation of the Time Lord. He
described his interpretation as something of a "Sherlock Holmes in Space,"
and said he immensely enjoyed recording the story.

The animated adventure, featuring a star-studded cast, is scripted by Paul
Cornell - regarded as one of the finest of the new breed of Doctor Who
authors. Paul is also an established TV writer, working on such series as
BBC1's Casualty.

"I'm honoured to have the chance to set the Doctor off on another forty
years of adventures," said Paul. "Just wait until you hear Richard! He is
the Doctor!"

The story is set to debut in mid-November, in time for Doctor Who's 40th
anniversary.

There are plans to release it on DVD soon, & there are also plans to do
more.



Bye for now

William
