BEN KINGSLEY - KINGSLEY TO BATTLE DOCTOR WHO?

SIR BEN KINGSLEY is in final negotiations to play a DOCTOR WHO villain in the fourth series of the British sci-fi show, according to reports. The Gandhi star will fit his TV role as half-man, half-machine Davros around his upcoming marriage to Daniela Lavender in September (07). A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "Ben's agent has been in talks for a while now and he's very keen to play the part of Davros. A deal will be signed any day now." Kingsley isn't the first big name celebrity name to be attached to the programme - pop superstar KYLIE MINOGUE has already filmed scenes for a Christmas (07) episode.
