Yes, the Doctor has joined the fight against Jeremy Hunt’s plan to impose a new contract on junior doctors that increases their working hours and reduces their pay – a move that medics say will endanger patients.

Peter Capaldi was joined by ‘War Doctor’ Sir John Hurt, who recently won a battle against pancreatic cancer, to back the campaign which states: “Don’t let spin doctors exterminate the NHS”.

Of course we all know – don’t we? – that if the Doctor was really on the case, it would all be over soon. Jeremy Hunt take note: If that was the Doctor holding a skull, instead of the actor playing him, it wouldn’t be a prop.
