Sarah LancashireSarah LancashireCoronation Street star Sarah Lancashire has landed a plum new job.

And it involes a rather popular doc.

But if you're thinking it's along the lines of Holby City, think again.

Because the medic in question is none other than Doctor Who.

The Sun reports Sarah will star in the hit TV show, playing one of the Time Lord's most evil enemies yet.

She'll be playing the part of Miss Foster, a villain who sports her own sonic screwdriver, says the paper.

Formerly known for playing Raquel in Corrie, Sarah said: "I'm absolutely thrilled to be in Doctor Who. It's a brilliant episode."

Fans can also look forward to seeing other stars like Felicity Kendal (star of The Good Life) and Tracey Childs (Patty from Hollyoaks) making appearances.

The series also sees the return of former Doctor Who stars Billie Piper and Elisabeth Sladen.
