Bowie not set to do Who no matter what the Sun says

Believing the strangest things, loving the alien...
Tomorrow's (Thursday) Sun newspaper in the UK has a half page exclusive regarding a supposed forthcoming appearance by David Bowie in the popular TV series, Dr Who. Here's a bit from it...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ROCK legend David Bowie is set to star in Dr Who — as an evil alien abductor.
Producers reckon the Ziggy Stardust singer, now 60, makes a perfect villain because of his “great other-worldly look”.
And he will cross swords with the Tardis’s Time Lord when he kidnaps crime author Agatha Christie — who in real life mysteriously vanished for 11 days in 1926.
Bowie’s willingness to appear in the two-part Dr Who special, to be shown on BBC1 next year, will surprise many of his fans.

Indeed it will surprise many of his fans, as the whole story is as much news to them as it is to him. David Bowie is not planning to star in Dr Who and the whole story is "absolute tish and tosh".
Whatever the intention behind The Sun's story, it certainly wouldn't be the first time that Dr Who producers have approached Bowie to appear in the show. If memory serves, he spurned their advances in the eighties too.
In fact, the Dr Who team have never hidden their fondness for all things Bowie, and it seems there are more than a few Bowie fans who enjoy a bit of Dr Who themselves. You may remember über fan Nick Pegg taking a break from operating a dreaded Black Dalek on these very pages. (08.05.2006 REMINDER: NICK PEGG SIGNING AND LAUNCH PARTY TODAY)
