It's Kylie at Last!

A teensy-bit of Doctor Who news...

The BBC have confirmed the rumours that Kylie Minogue is to join David Tennant in the 2007 Doctor Who Christmas special, "Voyage of the Damned." The plot is said to involve the RMS Titanic and Kylie will have a major (one-off?) role. According to executive producer Russell T Davies,"This will be the most ambitious and best Christmas episode yet." Shooting on this and series 4 is due to begin shortly in Cardiff.

For those that don't know the singer who came to fame in the soap Neigbours, was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and had to halt her "Showgirl" world tour for around 18 months.

Elsewhere it has been reported, the Doctor Who series 3 final "Last of the Time Lords" was watched by 9m viewers with a 39% audience share. Let's hear it for heavy advertising and poor weather!

The BBC have also stated that Freema Agyeman who took the role of new companion Martha Jones in series 3 is not leaving the show. In fact she is to film 3 episodes of the next series of Torchwood before rejoining Doctor Who mid-series 4, along side Tennant's Doctor and an as yet to be named new character. Some reports suggest the new character will be played by Tom Ellis who appeared in "Last of the Time Lords" playing Thomas Milligan.

Either way here's hoping Freema rejoins the series sooner rather than later.
Sadly it looks unlikely John Simm will return to the series, although I guess anything is possible...
