Tim Collins, sci-fi fan and Conservative politician, who once said "the Conservatives will get back into power before a new Doctor Who series is made", lost his parliamentary seat for Westmorland constituency last week.
Today Collins told Tachyon TV that he "expected to be back in Westminster before a Red Dwarf movie was made". Bless him.
In related news, Bill Nighy is still the hot favourite to replace Michael Howard as party leader.
