Stand up comedian and host of the BBC One comedy show, Room 101, Frank Skinner has never been quiet about his love for Doctor Who.

The comedian has starred alongside Peter Capaldi in the story "Mummy on the Orient Express", appeared in several Big Finish audio stories including "The Sinestran Kill" alongside Tom Baker with a short cameo in The Five-ish Doctors alongside the voice of the Daleks and Big Finish legend, Nicholas Briggs, who clearly shares the same love and passion for the show as Frank Skinner does.

"Anyone who's in Doctor Who always get's asked if they would go back if asked and I can't imagine many people, apart from Christopher Eccleston, who wouldn't. If they said to me would you like to be in Doctor Who every week for the rest of your life, I'd probably sign up to that. I don't want to get greedy but if they did ask I would drive myself to Cardiff."
