| text = TOP COMEDIANS including Ken Dodd, and Richard Briers, are among the stars queueing up to join Doctor Who when he returns to TV screens in the autumn.<br />
<br />
They will be joining the new doctor played by Sylvester McCoy in the new BBC series. Ken has been cast as the keeper of a galactic toll-gate in one of the series' four sci-fi adventures — joined by fellow comedians Hugh Loyd and American Stubby Kaye plus ITV's Bulman, actor Don Henderson.<br />
<br />
Among the line-up of actresses joining the doctor and his assistant Bonnie Langford. will be Wanda Ventham, Brenda Bruce, Elizabeth Spriggs and Judy Cornwell,<br />
<br />
And Dynasty's Kate O'Mara will be returning as the Rani while Tony Selby is also rejoining the cast as Glitz.<br />
<br />
Dr. Who's producer, John Nathan Turner said: "Donor Who has become the Morecambe and Wise of the BBC — everybody seems to want to appear on the programme.<br />
<br />
"I don't know whether it's because they've got kids or grandchildren who watch the show but the stars seem to bt queueing up to appear. It's very gratifying."<br />
<br />
The new 14-week series — leading up to the programme's 24th anniversary November — will be the second since Michael Grade, director of BBC Tv programmes warned that it could face the axe if It didn't change its violent, humourless image. <br />
