According to This is North Scotland, former TNG star Patrick Stewart has revealed he would love to be asked to play a role in hit british sci-fi series Doctor Who.
The 67-year-old actor, who is currently playing Macbeth at London's Gielgud Theatre, said he was a fan of the long-running time travelling show, but was sad he had never been involved.
"I have been (a fan) actually yes, and deeply dismayed that I was never asked to be in it! I think it's a terrific series," he said.
According to My Park Magazine, Stewart will perform once again for the Royal Shakespeare Company next year in a production of Hamlet. Stewart will be Claudius, the villainous uncle of Prince Hamlet, while the title role will be played by David Tennant, the current incarnation of Doctor Who.

Now THAT would be awesome! We can expect that an invite from the BBC will soon be forthcoming.
IMHO Doctor Who Series 2 is the best contemporary science fiction of either the big or small screen. The 21st century sets and special effects are just what this great series has needed all along. It's so nice to see the recent BBC productions with Hollywood production values (though I miss the charm and quaintness of vintage BBC.) Anyway, it's nice that Doctor Who is no longer a synonym for cheeseball special effects.
Our family liked Series 1 well enough but many eps had a demented twist that I didn't like for my kids to see (though they were probably adored by the 40 year old virgin fanboys.) Doctor Who is supposed to be a children's programme, and I gather the Brits are quite amused by its adult following here in the USA.
Wouldnt it be fun if Patrick Stewart could be the next regeneration of the Doctor? Actually, probably not. The Doctor is supposed to have a silly side, and I've only seen Jean-Luc play serious, dignified roles. Besides, at 67, he's even older than William Hartnell, who was done playing the Doctor before age 60.
