David Tennant, the star of Doctor Who, is to leave the show and return to the scene where he first made his mark in showbusiness - the Porn Industry.
Tennant, who has played the Doctor for three series, was seen injured by a single shot from a Dalek's laser last week, and will regenerate into the form of TV chat show host Paul O'Grady, aka Lily Savage, in the next series.
Tennant started in theatre, but moved on to the 'movie world', starring in Ring Stroker (1998) and Come Into My Face (1999), before he landed his biggest role in I Bummed A Dalek (2001), playing the role of a doctor who repeatedly and relentlessly buggers a dustbin through a hole in its side.
This came to the attention of Dr Who writer Russell T. Davies, who immediately contacted Tennant about becoming the new Doctor. Tennant jumped at the chance, but has now tired of the role, and feels the time is right for him to 'get back to beastics'.
The Scottish actor revealed only a couple of minutes ago on the BBC's Graham Norton Show, that he had indulged in a bit of 'the old in-out' on camera in the past, and he has now taken the positive step of swapping Timelord for Bumlord in a more permanent way.
Having stolen his moniker from Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys, McDonald, as he was born, says he doesn't mind 'mixing it' with the animals either, laughing:
"My Sonic Screwdriver really comes in handy in those farmyard scenes!"
