"cribbins" posts on the Doctor Who LJ group about the possibility of Ab Fab's Jennifer Saunders to take the helm of Doctor Who. The Sun article being referenced states that our precious "Edina" is in talks with BBC to play the good doctor after Tenant leaves in 2009. Time and space is doomed if Patsy gets slated to be her companion.
Additionaly, here is the YouTube trailer for the 2007 Christmas Special of Doctor Who: Voyage of The Damned.

Boo. I want David Tennant to stay as The Doctor. Plus, if we’re going to get a woman, could we get someone a little less...Tasha Yar and more Sarah Michelle? I mean, if we’re going to switch sexes, let’s be a bit girly (tough girlie, natch) about the whole thing.
And let’s have Mickey come back and get a crush on The Doctor. That would be funny.

Are you kiddingme, It Jennifer Smurfing Saunders! She would make an incredible doctor, trust me.
Put French and Saunders on your Blockbuster Queue.

I will trust you, because I’ve never seen her. I’m going on mere appearance in the pic above, which is admittedly shortsighted. I suppose I’m hoping for a Freema Agyemen type.
If I had a Blockbuster queue (or a Netflix one) I’d do that but I’m awash in my PopSyn queue these days. Soon as I can clear out my list I’ll try to remember to check that out.

Oh my buggery bollocks, that would certainly get me to watch the series.

If that doesn’t get you to watch it, nothing will.
It’s me, Dawn, your Time Lord partner!

Go away! I don’t know you! My legs gave out!

That would be awesome. AbFab is a classic show.

“Another day, another disaster for one downmarket rival which reported that Jennifer Saunders would be the next Doctor Who.
“Er, not according to writer Russell T Davies. ‘That is b*****ks,’ he storms. ‘They sit there and make things up. I can tell you it’s pure invention. We have never approached her, never spoken to her, never met her.’ Oh dear.”
So as far as British tabloids go, which one is making it up? Oh well.
