DR WHO HEADING TO THE BIG SCREEN?

Cult British sci-fi series DOCTOR WHO is heading back to cinemas for the first time in more than 40 years, according to a writer on the hit show.

Steven Moffat, who pens the scripts for the BBC series, insists that producers are eyeing another big screen version of the programme - which currently stars Scottish actor David Tennant in the lead role.

The show first became a movie in 1965 in Dr. Who and the Daleks, which was followed a year later (1966) by Daleks’ Invasion Earth: 2150 AD.

And Moffat admits that he will back plans to bring the Time Lord back to the big screen once again.

He says, "I would say yes, as long as it never gets in the way of the show. It would be great to see it at the cinema. It's been there before so it would be good to see it again.

"A movie is 90 minutes, that's not that different from making a single episode, so I'm not against it."
