So the newspaper got in touch with Jackson who responded, '“I’m a huge Doctor Who fan, and I think Matt's fantastic. Just name a time and place, and I'll be there!'”
Jackson is well known as a Doctor Who fan, and even cast seventh Doctor Sylvester McCoy as Radagast The Brown in The Hobbit. Jackson even owns one of McCoy's costumes from the show.
As much as we’d love it to happen, would the BBC be able to afford Jackson? Or would his Who love mean he’d override his agent and take a massive wage cut just for the hell of it? You never know… it could happen.
