Dr Who creator promises Xmas surprises

DOCTOR WHO writer Russell T Davies says fans are in for a lucky, lucky, lucky Christmas following Kylie Minogue’s decision to join the show.
The Aussie pop princess will join Time Lord David Tennant aboard the Titanic in this year’s Christmas Day special.
But Swansea-born Davies has revealed that Kylie will be bringing something extra special to the episode when it is shown on Christmas Day.
He told Roast: “This year’s Christmas special was always going to have a one-off companion, little knowing that it would be Kylie.
“I love the Christmas-ness of a one-off and, as you’ll see, there’s a whole new take – once again – on what a companion can be.”
Davies also revealed some top secrets concerning the return of ‘Runaway Bride’ Donna – played by British comic Catherine Tate – for the fouth series.
“She gives us the chance to be blunt about things, and be gobsmacked by things,” he said.
“Of course, she’ll still be brave and heroic sometimes, and she’ll even save the Doctor’s life.
“But there’s also this great moment in one episode where she and the Doctor land on an alien planet, and the first thing she does is go back in the Tardis to find the right coat!” he chuckled.
Meanwhile, despite having bowed out of Doctor Who last year after her character Rose became trapped in a parallel universe, newly-engaged actress Billie Piper is apparently considering a return to the show.
The 24-year-old star, who is getting married to fellow actor Laurence Fox, has admitted missing the series and wouldn’t mind going back for David Tennant’s last episode.
She said: “It’s sad watching it now I’m not in it, I didn’t realise how much I’d really miss it and would love to pop back.”
What’s more, Kylie has also said she’d love to return.
A BBC insider said: “It would be great to get both Billie and Kylie in the same show.
“Ratings would go though the roof for that and I’m sure the Doctor wouldn’t know whether he was coming or going.”
