SAUNDERS TO BE THE FIRST FEMALE DR. WHO

British comedienne JENNIFER SAUNDERS is set to become the first female DOCTOR WHO - for just one episode. The TV star, famed for her role in hit show Absolutely Fabulous, is in talks to become the legendary Timelord as current actor, David Tennant, will leave after filming three specials in 2009. A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "She's in the running and we all think she would be fantastic." Pop princess Kylie Minogue stars in the Christmas Special of the hit BBC show, which broadcasts later this month (Dec07).
