Chris Addison: Doctor Hoax

The actor, writer, director and standup tells Danny and Lynsey Hipgrave about how he wrongly became one of the bookies’ favourites to become the new Doctor Who, as a result of a practical joke. Chris says in the absence of any official information, the DJ Geoff Lloyd persuaded Paloma Faith to tweet to her many followers that she had insider knowledge that Chris would be the next Time Lord. Even though it was a trick Chris reveals that he would have taken the role if he had been offered it.
