'Doctor Who' writer denies Nesbitt rumour

Doctor Who writer Steven Moffat has denied claims that James Nesbitt is joining the show.

Earlier this month, a newspaper report claimed that the Cold Feet actor would take over as The Doctor when David Tennant decides to quit the role. However, Moffat has insisted that the story was completely untrue.

"The James Nesbitt story is a total fabrication. A fantasy. Just a guy sitting at a desk and inventing stuff," Moffat told The Mirror. "I wasn't going to say anything but I'm getting embarrassed for the wonderful Jimmy Nesbitt. So tell everyone please, it's getting very silly."
