− | | |
− | DR WHO, television's veteran Time Lord, is to be transformed into a macho James Bond-style hero in a blockbuster movie.
| |
− | | |
− | The big-screen doctor, to be played by major Hollywood star Donald Sutherland, will brawl with baddies in bar-rooms and (whisper it) honk his beautiful assistant.
| |
− | | |
− | What's more, he seems to have lost his taste for very young ladies with squeaky voices.
| |
− | | |
− | His spaced-out friend is Caroline Munro, who is nudging 40 and still out of this world.
| |
− | | |
− | She was the original Lambs Navy Rum girl and once provided the glamour in the top game show 3-2-1.
| |
− | | |
− | Dr Who's role, when he's not involved in a roll, is to save the universe.
| |
− | | |
− | Ridiculous
| |
− | | |
− | Nothing new about that, but someone close to the film project promised: "It will be a far cry from the TV series.
| |
− | | |
− | "The movie will be rather like Star Wars, with a whole host of spectacular space battles."
| |
− | | |
− | Canadian-born Sutherland landed the part of Dr Who in the face of stiff competition from British actors.
| |
− | | |
− | The role had been linked with John Cleese, Dudley Moore, Bob Hoskins and the current TV doctor, Sylvester McCoy.
| |
− | | |
− | Production will cost £20 million and the script is by veteran Dr Who writer Johnny Byrne.
| |
− | | |
− | He said: "I can't say too much about the film at the moment but one aspect is the doctor's relationship with his assistant.
| |
− | | |
− | "It's ridiculous that they could spend so much time together without getting emotionally involved."
| |
− | | |
− | Many Dr Who fans world-wide would argue that he has managed to stay celibate for around a quarter of a century.
| |
− | | |
− | Anyway, saving the universe shouldn't allow time for romance.
