STAR NEWS
PLENTY OF MILEAGE LEFT IN THE TARDIS

The BBC has already ordered a third series of Doctor Who and the show's supremo Russell T Davies believes that it could go on for another 10 years.

Speaking in London last night (that would be Wednesday 15th June 2005 -- Manti) he said: "The series needs to be looked after properly but I think there is a good 10 years that can come out of it. That would be nice."

However he emphasised that he would not remain as the main writer until 2015.

Dr Who supremo Russell T Davies has revealed that he approached Harry Potter creator JK Rowling to write an episode for series two. But she spurned the offer.

He told an audience at London's Bafta Theatre: "We tried her and got turned down and I am not going to crawl back in there again."

Davies is writing six of the 13 episodes from March 2006.
