Cheryl Cole in Doctor Who Series Five?

The Mirror are claiming that The X Factor judge and “Fight For This Love” singer Cheryl Cole will be a guest star in the fifth series of Doctor Who next year.  She is apparently yet to sign a deal with the show but could play a big part.

An insider said: "If she can find the time, a part will be written for her.

Then later a BBC Spokesperson said: "The BBC will not be commenting on casting or storyline speculation for the new series of Doctor Who."

This news story is only a rumour and should be taken with a pinch of salt. Doctor Who series five is filming and goes out early next year.

David Tennant on Final Specials and Matt Smith

In  a  new  interview  with  BBC  Newsbeat David Tennant talks about the final specials this year that see his exit, and about Matt Smith taking over the role as the Doctor next year. “Because you can only tell the story of a character dying once it allows you to go to places you haven't quite been before. It allows you to tell types of stories that you can't do when it's an ongoing series. It allows it to be bigger and more epic, and sadder and wilder, and the stakes are just that bit higher. I'm really excited for Matt Smith but I remember how exciting it was starting out on this kind of a journey - and nerve-wracking and a bit overwhelming but just such a kick. So I'm jealous he's going through that now, but it's brilliant and it couldn't happen to a nicer chap. I'm sure it'll be a bit odd at first to watch somebody else playing the part but I'm really looking forward to not knowing what happens next as well. I'm looking forward to being a viewer again because I've always loved Doctor Who so I can't wait to sit down and watch a new one. I do think it's a bit like being President of the United States, I think you always get to be called the Doctor. I will always expect, when I see you in the future, to refer to me as the Doctor, clearly." The final two specials will air on Christmas Day and New Years Day, with the next special on November 15th.

Happy Halloween From the Tardis Base!

image

Today is the 31st of October which means that its Halloween, a day when people dress up as monsters, go to parties, light bonfires and fireworks, and the children go trick or treating! To get you in the mood I put a picture of a character called Maggie who gets infected by the water on Mars in the next episode of Doctor Who which goes out on November 15th on BBC One!

If you are looking for something scary to watch tonight then I recommend Halloween (or Halloween 2, out now in cinemas, for 18s and up), Friday the 13th, or The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Or if you would prefer to watch something scary that’s Doctor Who related, then maybe you should put on the Torchwood series one episode Countrycide, that always gives me chills, or even the Doctor Who episodes The Empty Child, Human Nature, and Blink.

Happy Halloween, have a good day!
