Welsh actress Catherine <http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001876/>  Zeta-Jones
has been tipped to star in a movie version of cult sci-fi series Doctor Who
<http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0436992/>  - by the man credited with reviving
the show.

Writer Russell T Davies <http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0203961/>  brought the
British programme back to TV screens in 2005 after a nine-year absence.

BBC bosses were recently rumoured to be planning a big screen version of the
hit show.

And Davies insists that Zeta-Jones would be perfect for the role as the
Timelord's assistant.

He says, "Being from Wales myself, I'd love to have Catherine Zeta-Jones
<http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001876/>  as a companion for the Doctor."

The writer also insists that the series' current lead actor David Tennant
<http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0855039/>  would be the first choice for a
Doctor Who <http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0436992/>  movie.

He adds, "To have anyone else would be inconceivable."

Davies is due to end his tenure on the show in 2009.
