No Rowling Time Lord

JK HASN'T GOT THE TIMELORD says today's Daily Record, which quotes the recent Doctor Who Magazine interview (yet another press pickup from the DWM story) as saying that Harry Potter creator/author J.K. Rowling has "turned down the chance to bring some magic to the new Dr Who series." Says the article, the BBC wanted her to write an episode, but she's too busy writing the sixth Harry Potter novel, due out next summer. The interview that DWM conducted with producer Russell T Davies quoted him as saying, "I asked JK Rowling if she would like to write an episode for the new series. But she told me she was amused by the suggestion but simply doesn't have the time... I wanted her to write just one episode, but unfortunately she had to turn it down. She told me she was absolutely charmed to have been asked but was so busy at the moment she just couldn't accept. It was slightly disappointing to say the least." You can actually read the whole interview in this month's DWM.
