By the way Ck, was this in The Sun? by any chance?

She said it was in the news of the World. I hope this is not true, I can't think of anyone worse for the part.

It was in the News of the World and our local paper.

I can't find any mention of it anywhere else though.

I can't understand how he can be the Doctor after being the Master, but stranger things have happened.
