Alfie from my fave soap may be going to play Doctor Who. That’s very exciting.
“FYI, British newspaper the Sunday Express reported that a certain Mr Shane Richie (actor, presenter, comedian, cockney, Man Utd supporter?!) is in talks with the BBC to play Dr Who! I take it that Paul McGann is out of the picture then.
Shane has been a TV presenter for years – think Wheel of Fortune, the Price is Right etc – and not particularly highly thought of. However, in the last few months, he has joined the cast of our most popular soap Eastenders, and showed personality and actual acting ability. He is fast becoming a national institution over here, you can’t help but love his funny & charming character Alfie. ”
