Doctor Who

A solar tsunami sends the TARDIS hurtling towards a futuristic factory where doppelgangers - known as 'Gangers' - are used to complete jobs deemed too hazardous for humans. When a second wave hits, the Gangers separate and war seems inevitable. Only the Doctor can prevent an escalation of hostilities... but all is not as it seems...

Coronation Street’s Julie Hesmondhalgh has tweeted just hours after co-star Betty Driver was rushed to hospital, reportedly suffering from pneumonia, to reassure fans about the 90-year-old’s health.
Playing long-standing character Hayley Cropper in the soap, the actress tweeted: “Betty is, according to my sources, doing well. I'm sure she's feeling the love! Xxx”
Betty has played barmaid and ‘hot pot’ extraordinaire Betty Williams since 1969 and is well-loved both by her fans and on-screen co-workers.
As an ITV spokesperson confirmed the news of Betty’s ill-health on Thursday (May 11) and wished the actress “a speedy recovery”, the news became a Twitter trend as Corrie celebs joined in to offer their well-wishes.
Kym Marsh said: “Oh no!!! Just heard about Betty driver! I am so hoping she gets well!
“She is a legend and I love her to bits x. Come on Betty u can do it x”
Corrie newbie Chris Fountain also re-tweeted a message of support, saying “Get well soon, Betty Driver!”
Betty was hospitalised last year with a chest infection but was determined to keep her acting life in check and made a return to the small screen.
“I love working on the Street because everyone on it is like my family,” she told The Sun. I don't want to leave at all - I want to die on set."
