UK website People News are reporting today that Grant has been has been approached by the BBC to play the Timelord in their long-awaited big screen remake of the classic show.' It's all news to Hugh, apparently. 'I spoke to Hugh and he hasn't heard anything about it at all,' said Karin Smith - Grant's representative at Simian Films - the company he formed with ex-girlfriend Liz Hurley. So if he was approached would he be interested? 'It's a hypothetical question, so I couldn't comment on that,' she told Empire Online. As Mr Grant basks in the reflected glory of Bridget Jones's Diary being number three in the US film charts this weekend, he can probably afford to shrug off the comments of Peter O'Toole who told a reporter this week that Grant was a 'twitching idiot..Ooh I mustn't say that must I?' O'Toole went on to say, 'But he's just such a floppy young stammerer in all his films How far is that line going to go?'
