Roger Moore

Sir Roger Moore is vying for a guest spot on Dr Who - after learning his 007 protege Timothy Dalton has landed a part in a forthcoming Christmas special.
 
Dalton, who took over the reigns from Moore in 1987 to play the suave superspy in The Living Daylights and Licence To Kill, is set to appear in the cult British sci-fi show as the mysterious character The Narrator in December (09).
 
After hearing his replacement was to star in the show, Moore has offered himself up to play Dalton's father.
 
He says, "I believe Timothy is to appear in one of the new episodes, so if they ever want anyone to play his dad, I'm available."

This Christmas will see David Tennant bow out of the series after taking on the role of The Doctor in 2005.

There has been no full series this year instead Tennant has starred in a series of special episodes that will culminate in a regeneration into Matt Smith, the eleventh actor to take on the role.
