Actor in talks with show bosses about part
Monday, 6 October 2008
Star Trek legend Patrick Stewart is being lined-up to appear in Doctor Who.
The actor, who worked with the show's star David Tennant, 37, in Hamlet over the summer, could feature in a two-part special next year.
‘Patrick and David are firm friends now, and want to work together again,’ a source tells The Sun.
‘They’ve got chemistry and that’s what Doctor Who is all about.
‘His role is still being finalised but the plan is for him to play a renegade Time Lord called the Meddling Monk, who was last seen in Doctor Who in the 1960s.
'Patrick’s agent is now involved and everyone is really keen. His role is a belter.’
Patrick, 68, who played Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek, has previously admitted to wanting a part in the BBC show.
‘I have been a fan, actually yes, and I’m deeply dismayed that I was never asked to be in it,’ he said. 'I think it’s a terrific series.'
