"Kylie to star in Dr Who
Australian pop diva Kylie Minogue will join the cast of British science-fiction TV drama Doctor Who for a special Christmas episode.

The BBC, which produces the series, said Minogue, 39, would play a "major lead role" alongside Dr Who actor David Tennant.

The hour-long episode, "Voyage of the Damned", will start filming in Cardiff, Wales, in July.

"It is an incredible thrill to be joining David and the entire Dr Who production for this year's Christmas special," said Minogue.

"Dr Who enjoys a unique history and it is going to be very exciting to be a part of that."

Former television soap opera star Minogue returned to the stage last November with a sell out concert in Sydney after recovering from breast cancer."

A female Cyberman / Cyberwoman. - How does this work. On the Torchwood episode, everyone (man or woman) who got 'converted' looked the same. Where does the term 'Cyberwoman' come from then?

By a Cyberman / Cyberwoman on the Titanic? What a story this is going to be.....

On the radio it said that the producers are very excited about having Kylie in it cause it will make the series appeal to a wider audience, more younger girls and older men are expected to watch.

All they really need to do is change Dr Who, to something more... explicit, maybe Dr Woo, and involve lots of nudity and such. I can almost guarentee there will be a lot more viewers.

Well doctor who is for children, or other simular minded people (like myself although I consider myself to be a child normally.) I think what you sudgest is basically torchwood, which was pretty uninventive, it kinda took part of the doctor who storyline, and did everything they could to give it an adult rating.

At the end of the last series, viewers witnessed the The Titanic crash through the Tardis walls in spectacular style, and tonight's action continues from that moment.

Someone pointed out that I did not get the wording of this message correct when I said that it will 71 minutes longer than the 60 minutes for the previous specials meaning 131 minutes altogether.

When I meant to say that at 71 minutes the 2007 Christmas Special will be longer than the usual 60 minutes for the previous aforementioned specials.

Sorry about that.
