David Walliams to write 'Dr Who' episode

Little Britain star David Walliams is to write an episode of Doctor Who.

Doctor Who producers apparently decided that Walliams' sense of humour would be perfect for the show. He will write an episode for the next series, which will see David Tennant taking over from Christopher Eccleston in the role of the Doctor.

Walliams, who has been linked romantically with Patsy Kensit, Abi Titmuss, Denise Van Outen and Jayne Middlemiss, has even taken Billie Piper out to dinner to find out more about her character, Rose Tyler.

"Russell T. Davies, the chief scriptwriter, is a massive fan of Little Britain," a source told the Sunday Mirror. "He was impressed by the fact David's comedy writing is always full of really original ideas.

"David jumped at the chance and is taking it very seriously."
