What will Henry Gee make of this one?

Not-so-cultish sci-fi show Dr Who will feature an unlikely co-star later this year—Richard Dawkins.

According to the Independent, the evolutionary biologist and godhead of atheism will play himself in an upcoming episode.

Dawkins already has intimate ties to the timelord—his wife Lalla Ward starred opposite former Doc Tom Baker in the 1970s as Romana. Dawkins was also a close friend of Douglas Adams, who occasionally wrote for the show.
