Tonight's the Fright!

                      John Barrowman's monster competition!

If you're missing the monsters and mayhem that Doctor Who delivers then tune into Tonight's the Night, presented by Captain Jack himself, John Barrowman!

John's BBC One show helps ordinary people live out their performing fantasies for real and true to its aim of making dreams come true, Tonight's the Night has run a competition giving one viewer the opportunity to take part in a special Doctor Who scene, working with the Doctor Who production team, and shot on the set of the TARDIS. The scene will star the winner alongside show host John Barrowman as Captain Jack Harkness.

Viewers over 18 were invited to submit an application featuring a photograph of themselves in a home-made alien costume, along with information about their alien, such as where it's from and its characteristics. The entries were a fantastic mix ranging from fearsome to funny but all of them were imaginative, eye-catching and full on! Over the next three weeks viewers of Tonight's the Night will see a parade of aliens and John Barrowman, Doctor Who casting director Andy Pryor and a team of judges will be selecting the best.

The top ten aliens will be required to face the judges - assuming they have faces - and may be assessed on vocal ability, movement and quite literally, star quality. Three finalists will then undergo one further series of alien orientated challenges, but only one will win this once in a lifetime experience.

The winner will film a scene in the TARDIS to be broadcast on May 23rd. John Barrowman was delighted to make a dream come true for one lucky Doctor Who fan, commenting, "This is a fantastic opportunity and I can't wait to see the winner experience performing on the set of Doctor Who."

Tonight's the Night: Saturdays at 6.55pm on BBC1

Rose and The Other Doctor In 4:18?

I received some very interesting email earlier this afternoon, here we go...
Just found out this morning that Tennant is coming up to London on Friday to shoot a scene with Billie Piper. And it is literally just the one scene. Episode 4.18, Scene 163 to be precise. They're going to be out on location in a reasonably public place so there's some chance of photos but I don't want to be too specific in case the descent of hordes of 'Doctor Who' fans prompts anyone to try and find out where the information originated.
No idea what the scene actually entails but the Call Sheet lists the characters as "The Other Doctor" and "Rose Smith" so draw your own conclusions!
I am the first to admit this may be rubbish, but it has something that tells me it could be true!
Rose Smith? - Has Rose Tyler married the other doctor?
Sarah Janes cameo farewell is scene 153 and the bookstore is scene 155, so scene 163 isn't too high!

Doctor Who & The Face On Mars

(Click for a Larger, Sharper Image)

I've just remembered this, so I thought I'd share!
In 1976, NASA photographed the Cydonia area of Mars, which resulted in the now famous face on Mars photograph being published. The area has since been re-photographed and proven the face is nothing to get excited about, however...
When I first saw the image, the first thing I thought of was Cybermen (Classic, not new of course), I wonder why Doctor Who writers didn't notice the similarity also? I know Mars is more Ice Warriors and Sutekh than Cybermen, but it would have been a very clever story!
Or am I wrong and I've missed something, Doctor Who novels maybe?
