Doctor Who has a new arch enemy - Simon Cowell
The Time Lord will battle it out in the Saturday night TV ratings war with the ITV talent show headed by Mr Nasty himself. And The X Factor is hoping to land superstar guest performers as their secret weapon in the ratings clash.
The new series of Doctor Who starring Peter as the 12th incarnation of the Doctor begins on BBC One on Saturday August 23, while the 11th series of The X Factor, featuring the return of Simon and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini to the judging panel, starts a week later on Saturday August 30.
