Fans try to ring Dr Who

More than 2,500 people tried to ring Dr Who after his mobile number appeared in the TV show.

The timelord's sidekicks called the Doctor, played by David Tennant, on 07700 900 461 in the series' penultimate show.

Since then, more than 2,500 fans have tried to get through but were left disappointed, reports The Sun.

One fan complained on the BBC website: "I phoned it but there was just an annoying network message."
