The Meddling Monk, or simply the Monk, is a fictional character in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. He was played by the British comic actor Peter Butterworth. He appeared in two stories (The Time Meddler and The Daleks' Master Plan, written and co-written respectively by Dennis Spooner) and was an adversary of the First Doctor.
Quote:
The Monk was the possessor of a stolen Mark IV TARDIS – superior to the Doctor's and with a fully functioning chameleon circuit – and said he left the Doctor's then-unnamed home planet some fifty years after the Doctor did -- which could indicate that he was a Time Lord, although it was never stated at the time since the concept of the Doctor's race had not yet been devised.
Quote:
Unlike the Doctor's other Time Lord adversaries, such as the Master, the Monk was presented as a comic figure: a fairly well-meaning but childish man who was not half as clever as he thought he was, and who never seemed to realise the seriousness of what he was doing.

Quote from GustavoLeao:
I made clear that it is ONLY a rumor
Plus, this "new" rumor is consistent with earlier reports.
I doubt that Patrick Stewart is so full of his own (Hollywood) celebrity that he wouldn't be pleased to appear in an iconic series which could have special meaning to him. In its own way, Doctor Who is the Original Star Trek of British culture.
