The Doctor Investigates






According to Digital Spy, BBC's Doctor Who will meet Dame Agatha Christie in 2008. Fenella Woolgar will play the best selling crime fiction author. David Tennant (Barty Crouch Jr. in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire") is the time-travelling, problem-solving doctor. I'm anxious to find out what sort of mystery they will collaborate on. BBC America is still showing the 2005 episodes so I may have a bit of a wait.

The crime writer's grandson Matthew Prichard welcomed the news: "What a brilliant idea... two characters whose contribution to British entertainment is absolutely unrivalled. As far as I know my grandmother, Agatha Christie, never saw Doctor Who, but I am sure she would have been intrigued, excited and above all flattered by all this attention in 2007."
