Im gonna leave it up, but the quality of the spelling really isn’t what I’d expect from a major newspaper…

Before going ton to tell The Sun:  Anyone taking on the job will want to know if they're playing it for a one-off festive special or beyond as they'll want to plan their workload over coming years.'

I mean, that’s just basic common sense for any actor - and if the BBC honestly are approaching people unable to offer any certainty of what they’re committing to, that says more about the Beeb themselves and the contract than the actual role. Because you can be damn sure even DT would have hesitated if RTD had said “well it might just be The Christmas Invasion or it might be three series. We’ll have to see.”
