Lionel Blair wants to play a Doctor Who villain

Lionel Blair wants to play a villain in ‘Doctor Who.
The 90-year-old showbiz legend is a huge fan of the BBC sci-fi show and watched every episode of Jodie Whittaker’s first series as the Thirteenth Doctor – the first time a woman has played the titular role.
And Lionel says he’s ready to take on the Time Lord and even though he’d like to be an "evil" character he would still like to tap dance in the TARDIS with Jodie, 36.
He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I’d love to be a villain in ‘Doctor Who’, they could make me evil in ‘Doctor Who’. The new series has been wonderful, I could do a routine with Jodie in space."
Lionel has particularly enjoyed seeing Bradley Walsh as the Doctor’s companion Graham O’Brien in Series 11 and he admits he is envious of Bradley’s career because he acts, does comedy and hosts game show ‘The Chase’ and is great at all three things.
He said: "I tell you whose career I envy at the moment and that’s Bradley Walsh, I think he is terrific and they allow him to be a game show host, be a stand-up comic and do drama and he’s good in all three things. I think he’s terrific."
Despite hitting 90, Lionel has no plans to retire and features on the star-studded line-up for charity single ‘Rock With Rudolph’, which has been released to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital.
The track features the likes of Jess Impiazzi, ‘EastEnders’ star Shona McGarty, ‘Coronation Street’ actress Nicola Thorp, model Eunice Olumide, ‘The Chase’ star Anne Hegerty, former ‘EastEnders’ actress Kara Tointon, Gail Porter, ‘Whispering’ Bob Harris and antiques experts James Braxton, Charlie Ross and Philip Serrell among others and Lionel admits the day they spent making the record and filming the video was fabulous.
He said: "It was a wonderful day, they asked me to tap dance on set, so I did, it was such fun. I would do anything for these sorts of charities.
I knew most of the people involved, I know Gail Porter and I loved meeting the antiques gentlemen, and I know Kara Tointon, it was just a wonderful day."
‘Rock With Rudolph’ is out now.
