No 'Doctor Who' role for Lucker
The BBC has denied claims that Zoe Lucker has landed a role in the next series of Doctor Who.

According to The Sun, the Footballers' Wives actress had landed the role of evil scientific genius The Rani in the upcoming third series of the sci-fi show.

A source told the newspaper, "The Rani was a classic character - pure evil. She's ripe for a return and Zoe is perfect to play her. There are similarities between The Rani and bitchy Tanya."

The renegade Time Lady was originally played by Kate O'Mara in the 1980s.
