Fisher wants assistant role in 'Who'

Rex Features

Connie Fisher is keen for a starring role as the Doctor's assistant in Doctor Who.

The West End star has recently filmed her first TV drama - playing an Elvis obsessive in ITV's Caught In A Trap - and now has her sights set on a key part in the long-running cult show.

A new assistant is expected to accompany David Tennant's successor in the fifth series of Doctor Who, which is due to air in 2010.

"I've dreamed that... I might be the next Doctor's assistant," Fisher told DS. "Billie Piper's out of the question now, so little Connie Fisher - she's Welsh, she's available in Cardiff, last minute, just get her in! If they asked me that would be awesome."
