Gandhi is new leader of Daleks

Ben Kingsley is set to play Davros, the creator of the Daleks.

Sir Ben, 63 — who won an Oscar for his movie role as India’s peace-loving spiritual leader — is in final negotiations to play one of the most dangerous baddies in the galaxy.

A source said: “Ben’s agent has been in talks for a while now and he’s very keen to play the part of Davros. A deal will be signed any day now.”

Fans will be delighted that insane half-man, half-machine Davros is returning for the fourth series of the hit BBC1 show, which stars David Tennant as the Timelord.

The alien scientist — who first battled the Doctor in 1975 — is hell-bent on destruction with his army of exterminating Daleks.

They've had some magnificent guest stars on Doctor Who, but Kingsley just about takes the cake, the cookies, and the freaking PIE.

Wow.
