Prince Charles has put forward his case for becoming the next Time Lord after stepping out of a Tardis during his Royal visit to Malaysia.
The Prince of Wales walked into Doctor Who's iconic time machine at a Kuala Lumpur enterprise for start-up companies, but fortunately managed to avoid any Daleks.
He met with young entrepreneurs and school children showcasing projects as part of an 11-day tour of South East Asia and India.
The Tardis forms a doorway from the public space into the private members' area at the WORQ facility, which offers a gym, sleeping pods, a cafe and space for new firms to grow.
Charles also toured the national Islamic Arts Museum with the ruler of the state of Perak, Sultan Nazrin Shah.
The heir to the throne, who has a passionate interest in Islamic art, has been learning to read and write Arabic for around six years.
He presented his name, written phonetically in Arabic, to the museum as a gift and received an image of the Koran by Japanese calligrapher Fuad Koichi Honda.

He said: "For me, ladies and gentlemen, this museum serves as a reminder of just how important it is that all societies are able to preserve - and be proud of - their cultural heritage."
The Duchess of Cornwall paid a visit to The International School at ParkCity in Kuala Lumpur.
Camilla met with Her Majesty Raja Zarith Sofiah, the Queen of Johor, and students at the early education facility as well as watching a recreation of a traditional Malay wedding ceremony.
