ITV has announced a new drama, written by Russell T Davies, about the life of Noel Gordon, star of soap opera Crossroads - Nolly.
The 3-part drama is produced by Nicola Shindler’s Quay Street Productions, and will star Helena Bonham Carter as Noele Gordon. The drama will be go into production in 2022, presumably Russell T Davies' last project before he takes over as Doctor Who's showrunner for 2023 . According to the press release, 'Nolly explores the all-powerful reign, and fall from grace, of the inimitable Noele Gordon, TV legend and Queen of the Midlands, the darling of the establishment until it turned on her and betrayed her.' Of further interest to Doctor Who fans is whether any of the actors in the upcoming drama might be being road tested as a candidate for the 14th Doctor. Famously, David Tennant's starring role in Casanova in 2005 led to his casting as the 10th Doctor, and Christopher Eccleston's starring role in The Second Coming led to his casting as the 9th Doctor.
