The government should not attempt to browbeat judges over its new anti-terrorism laws,

the new senior judge in England and Wales warned yesterday.

The lord chief justice, Lord Phillips of Worth Matravers, said judges were not in conflict with the government

but said that it would be "wholly inappropriate"

for a politician to try to put pressure on them.

His strong defence of the judiciary's independence comes after Tony Blair,

speaking recently on the subject of treating suspected terrorists,

said the "rules of the game" were changing.

Forget the Cybermen and the Daleks. Returning to BBC1 for the first time in 16 years,

Doctor Who was on Saturday night vanquishing even more formidable foes - the popular ITV duo Ant and Dec.

The revived drama, starring Christopher Eccleston as the ninth Doctor,

and Billie Piper as his sidekick, Rose Tyler, attracted 9.9 million viewers on average throughout the show

and seemed certain to get a new generation cowering behind their sofas every Saturday evening.

Despite roping in David Beckham, Mariah Carey and Sir Trevor MacDonald as guests to see off

the Time Lord on BBC1, Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway managed only to attract an audience of 7.2 million,

according to the unofficial figures.
