| + | Doctors and Daleks let loose at Buckingham Palace | ||
| + | |||
| + | THE Daleks and four Doctor Who actors were let loose in Buckingham Palace as the Time Lord's deadliest foe tried not to exterminate their host, the Countess of Wessex. | ||
| + | |||
| + | PROP: A Dalek holds up Doctor Who actor John Hurt, who, with fellow doctors (L-R) Matt Smith, Tom Baker and Peter Davison, met the Countess of Wessex. Picture: PA | ||
| + | |||
| + | Matt, the fourth doctor Tom Baker and his successor Peter Davison, along with John Hurt, who is to play an incarnation in Saturday's special 50th anniversary episode, met the royal at a reception in the programme's honour yesterday. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Props from the show, including two versions of the Tardis, a pair of Daleks and K-9 the robot dog, were set up in the Palace's Bow Room. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Mr Smith, who is to "regenerate" into the 12th Doctor, Scots-born Peter Capaldi in the Christmas Day special, said he was really thrilled to be invited along and admitted that part of him regretted quitting. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Mr Baker, who starred in the show between 1976 and 1981, said the show's appeal was down to the fact the character was not a "do-gooder" but could be "naughty", "cynical" and "very silly", and said it was the highlight of his career. | ||
| + | |||
| + | He said: "Everything as an actor after Doctor Who was a little bit downhill really so what it meant was going from Doctor Who to Macbeth or An Inspector Calls, it was just Doctor Who up there all the time and I used to go on and do it in the style of Doctor Who." | ||
| + | |||
| + | The Day of the Doctor, featuring Mr Hurt, Mr Smith and former doctor David Tennant, is on BBC 1 on Saturday – the show's 50th anniversary. | ||
