ACTOR Laurence Fox, famed for his role as Hathaway in the TV series Lewis, is neck and neck with Count Binface in the race to become London mayor.

Lewis, set in Oxford, was a spin-off of the Inspector Morse series.

In a recent poll, Mr Fox finds himself level with Count Binface, an ‘intergalactic space warrior’ who took on Theresa May in the 2017 general election.

Two years later, the space warrior, previously known as Lord Buckethead, took on Boris Johnson.

Now, in Mr Fox, Count Binface has a new challenge.

Mr Fox launched his Reclaim Party earlier this year.

His mayoral campaign promises to unlock the capital from all Covid rules and erect hundreds of new military statues and plaques.
