Get Andy Zaltzman on Doctor Who

I have mentioned my love of The Bugle Podcast before.

Every week, the esteemed Andy Zaltzman will run off a series of puns about something. This week, Zaltzman decided to run off a series of puns about Charles Dickens (in a dubious celebration of the two hundredth centennial of the author's birth) and it was painful. Horribly painful.

So painful that Mr. Zaltzman needs to be hit with a stick by Mr. Dickens.

Here is my suggestion: Mr. Zaltzman should have a minor role on Doctor Who where the current Doctor (Matt Smith) drags him back to 1869 so that Andy can be hit with a stick by Mr. Dickens.

The Doctor has met Dickens before (see below), so this is old hat, and I am sure that Mr. Zaltzman would love the publicity...it's not The Smurfs (wow...The Smurfs has a wiki. Who knew?) but it is something. Plus as the new series is currently filming, time can be taken to make this work. Justice must be served.



If you think this is a good idea, contact everyone you can, including the nice folks at The Bugle.
