THE MIGHTY JAGRAFESS OF THE HOLY HADROJASSIC MAXARODENFOE; LINE THAT DR WHO ACTOR FLUFFED 19 TIMES. . . WHY DON'T YOU TRY IT YOURSELF?
IT was only one line, but the eight words that actor Simon Pegg had to say were, if nothing else, a bit of a tongue-twister.
So he could be forgiven for having to film 20 takes to perfect them for this week's episode of Doctor Who.
The Shaun Of The Dead star appears in the BBC1 series playing an evil character called The Editor.
However, Simon, 35, faced the ultimate challenge when he had to say:
"The Mighty Jagrafess of the Holy Hadrojassic Maxarodenfoe", which is the name of The Editor's alien boss.
It left fellow stars Christopher Eccleston, 41, pictured left, and Billie Piper, 22, in stitches. But the pair end up being caught and shackled by The Editor who plans to feed them to his boss - a gigantic, pink, sharp-toothed monster called The Jagrafess.
Simon added: "The Editor is not a nice guy to cross."
