FRANK SKINNER is to appear as a guest star in the new series of Doctor Who.
The comedian, who is a huge fan of the world's longest-running science-fiction series, will appear on screen this autumn with new Doctor Peter Capaldi in an episode by Being Human writer Jamie Mathieson.
Skinner said: "I love this show. I subscribe to Doctor Who magazine, I've got a Tardis ringtone, a five-foot cardboard Dalek in my bedroom and when I got the call saying they wanted me to read for the part, I was in the back of my tour bus watching episode three of The Sensorites. "I am beyond excited." The show's lead writer, Steven Moffat, said: "It's no secret that Frank's been pitching vigorously to get into Doctor Who for a while.
"He's been volunteering to be 'third monster on the left' as long as I've been in this job."
