Actor + Doctor = Dactor?

I know you've been eagerly waiting for the Bill Roache update! Well, good news readers, he is now officially Dr William Roache. He's pictured here in his gown alongside the University of Chester's Vice Chancellor, Tim "it's made my day" Whelan.

The Wilmslow Express, Bill's local paper, was on hand to get the following comment from him: "It has been a memorable day for me. Many members of my family were medics and it was wonderful to see my name with the academic doctors." Hmm...guess someone broke the bad news to him that not all Doctors are 'doctors'!

He really doesn't look happy, does he?
