When Russell T. Davies asked Prince Charles to node star in Doctor Who , the prince ’s government agency deny out of hand — such sci - fi tomfoolery is beneath him . Davies was less than proud of ; he called out the Prince of Wales at a late literary festival , referring to him as a “ miserable swine ” for snubbing the offer . plain , though , Charles still has some respectfulness for the starry - eyed producer and writer , as this week he awarded Humphrey Davy the Order of the British Empire for his services to drama . And what pass when the two men finally met font - to - face in Buckingham Palace ? You ’ll have to watch the video recording .
It seems Prince Charlesdidn’t realize a spurned proposal from Doctor Who would create such a stir . Clearly , he does n’t know any British children :
The Prince of Wales grow down an offer to asterisk in Doctor Who , executive producer Russell T Davies has claim .
Speaking at the Cheltenham Literature Festival , the BBC show ’s writer foretell the prince “ a miserable swine ” for not accepting the invitation .
According to Clarence House , however , the prince did not see the offer as it was turned down on his behalf .
“ We take in a peachy many postulation and it ’s unimaginable to accept them all , ” a spokesman told the BBC .
The Prince of Wales must be jolly damn authoritative if he can ignore a Time Lord . The Doctor , though , is nothing if not friendly , so Rusty was happy to piece up their conflict in the armed service of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire . BBC Newspresents video footage of the investiture ceremony , and everybody ’s favorite spectacled Welshman is as earnest and adorable as ever . You do n’t have to call him “ Sir Davies ” now — his OBE makes him an Officer of the British Empire , not technically a knight — but you may still cheer at the success of the cheeky , wildheaded colossus who gave us aliens made out of fatty tissue , a tentacle - head Dalek - human being loanblend , and a glowing Doctor who fly with automatic holy man .
