After several seconds of speculation the BBC has decided who's going to be the new Doctor in the revival of that crappy old sci-fi series from the 1960's, Dr Who.
The Formula One boss and part-time actor Bernie Ecclestone has been named as the front for the cult BBC sci-fi show when it returns next year. Ecclestone, who starred alongside the front of the horse in his local Church's horror pantomime Texas Chainsaw Puss in Boots last Christmas will be the ninth Time Lord to try to keep the Tardis going in a 13-part series.
How lucky is that?
The BBC said the diminutive billionaire with no talent would take "a fresh, modern approach". Jane Farter, BBC Controller of Starring Vehicles for Useless Twats said: "We are delighted to have cast a wanker of such calibre in one of British television's most ironic roles.
"It signals our intention to continue with Doctor Who as the most ridiculous TV series in the history of ridiculous TV series. We'll keep its core traditional values - edgy, eccentric and shite."
Executive producer and writer Russell "tell me I'm gorgeous" Davies said: "Bernie was our first choice. His casting raises the bar for all of us. It's going to be a magnificent, epic, entertaining journey, and I can't wait to leave the BBC."
The Doctor Who show ran for 26 years from 1963 though few people saw it as they were behind the settee whenever it was on.
