The Sun reports that Sir Ben Kingsley (Ghandi) is close to signing on for Doctor Who's fourth series, as Dalek creator Davros!
If true, this is a perfect fit of actor and character. Kingsley has a very strong likeness to Davros (imagine him in a wheelchair with a false eye stuck on his forehead - et voila!) and his acting skills should eclipse previous incarnations of the character. And we all know how amazing fellow thesp Sir Derek Jacobi was as The Master recently (in just 5 minutes of screen time, too.)
While The Sun is hardly the most reputable of newspapers, their Doctor Who scoops have been surprisingly accurate since the show returned.
So get excited for Spring 2008.
