Fans of Doctor Who are reportedly hoping that the show's characters will appear in a future episode of The Simpsons.

The Sun reports that some devotees have already drawn cartoon versions of stars Matt Smith and Karen Gillan.

The drawings, which emerged at the Comic-Con event in San Diego, also include Simpsons versions of the Tardis, a Weeping Angel and a Dalek.

Sources at the BBC have reportedly admitted that they are "impressed" with the pictures but also insisted that there are currently no plans for a crossover.

"It's great that people in the US love Matt and Karen," one insider said. "Getting the two iconic shows together is a fun idea. But it's not something in the pipeline at the moment."
