Report: Blair wanted for 'Doctor Who' cameo

Recently departed Prime Minister Tony Blair is reportedly being considered for an appearance on Doctor Who.

A report in The Daily Express cited an insider on the hit show as stating: "Everyone knows Blair did The Simpsons and has appeared with Catherine Tate, who is the new companion for The Doctor. So we're sure he'd be more than open to the offer of a cameo on the show."

If Blair was to appear on Doctor Who he would be following in the footsteps of prominent politician Ann Widdecombe, who appeared in 'The Last of the Time Lords' recently. In the episode, the season three finale, she appeared as herself voicing support for the fictional character of Harold Saxon, a political figure concocted by The Doctor's arch nemesis The Master.
