Peter Kay to be guest villain on Doctor Who

Peter Kay

Peter Kay (him off Phoenix Nights and who did that song, you know the one, with Tony Christie… No, not ‘Streets and Alleyways’ or whatever it was – that was the theme to The Protectors… It’s got armadillos in it or something. Oh I don’t know. Go and look it up) is to be a guest villain on the new series of Doctor Who. Well, if Simon Pegg can do it, so can Peter Kay.

Can’t help but think they could do with a few really evil psychopaths, though, rather than comic actors who can also do serious work.

And now, for no reason at all, apparently, a picture of David Tennant (sorry about the watermark):
