He Will be great, says Davies<br />
<br />
DOCTOR Who boss Russell T Davies has lined up his next Time Lord.<br />
<br />
He has set his sights on Harry Lloyd, who plays Will Scarlett in the Beeb's Robin Hood.<br />
<br />
Harry, 23, made a big impression earlier this year when he made a Doctor Who guest appearance as posh college boy Baines in the story Family Of Blood.<br />
<br />
Davies decided there and then that he would be the perfect replacement when current Doc David Tennant, 36, leaves the Tardis for the last time.<br />
<br />
DOCTOR WHO<br />
<br />
Davies, 44, said: "How good was Harry in those episodes?<br />
<br />
"After his audition I sent a note to the casting director saying: 'He's not just good for Baines, that's the next Doctor!' Seriously. He's so brilliant."<br />
<br />
Rife<br />
<br />
Tennant is signed up for the next series of the BBC1 sci-fi favourite, due to air next year. But rumours are rife that he will quit in 2009.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, BBC chiefs have just released a tantalising taste of the Doc's new sidekick Donna Noble, played by funnygirl Catherine Tate, 38. She will land in the 1920s and meet murder mystery writer Agatha Christie.<br />
<br />
And, according to Davies, Donna will be more "bovvered" about looking dalek-table than about baffling Daleks.<br />
<br />
He revealed: "There's one episode where they land on an alien planet.<br />
<br />
"The first thing Donna does is go back in the Tardis to find the right coat!"<br />
<br />
The time traveller's other companion Martha Jones (Freema Agyeman, 27) has moved temporarily to spin-off show Torchwood.<br />
<br />
She will rejoin the Doc midway through the next series.<br />
