Tonight's the Night Doctor Who Scene

Earlier tonight the special Doctor Who scene which was filmed a couple of weeks ago for John Barrowman's entertainment programme "Tonight's the Night" aired on BBC One. The special mini episode stars John Barrowman, David Tennant, and the winning monster Tim Ingham, an I.T technician who won the BBC's alien talent search competition earlier this year. You can watch the scene below along with some behind the scenes footage.


The full episode of Tonight's the Night can be viewed here for the next seven days on BBC iPlayer and a couple of screencaps from the scene can be seen here on The Doctor Who Site. Doctor Who will return for a one hour special episode in November this year in "The Waters of Mars".

Doctor Who Scene Tonight

Make sure you don't forget that a special Doctor Who scene will broadcast tonight as part of John Barrowman's Saturday night entertainment show "Tonight's the Night". A few months ago the BBC held a competition for people over 18 to make a monster costume and enter to get the chance to star in a Doctor Who scene alongside David Tennant and John Barrowman. An image of the winning monster can be seen below.

Tonight's the Night will broadcast at 7.20pm tonight on BBC One, and it will run for 55 minutes, and the Doctor Who scene will broadcast at some point during the show. If you miss the scene then don't worry because it will be uploaded to this website shortly after it's broadcast.

Timothy is best known for portraying James Bond in the films "The Living Daylights" and "Licence to Kill", and he has also appeared in many other films and plays over the years. Some reports suggest that Timothy will play a villian in the episode, and you can read The Sun's report on this on their official website here.

More information on this and other news regarding the specials will be posted here as soon as it becomes available.

Possible Torchwood Exhibition in Cardiff Bay

It has been revealed that an exhibition for Torchwood is under review for a location in Cardiff Bay in Wales. The experience design team behind the Doctor Who Up Close Exhibition in the near by Red Dragon Centre in Cardiff Bay are currently trying to get a possible venue for the exhibition to be held. Martin Wilkie from the company said; "A Torchwood Exhibition would be a great addition to the Bay area. We have looked at several sites for a Torchwood Exhibition but we are hoping that this one might be available soon. The appeal of Torchwood brings many visitors to Cardiff Bay, especially to see the Torchwood Water Tower. The building we are hoping to use for the Torchwood Exhibition is near this famous TV landmark and would offer visitors a unique chance to see many of the key props, costumes and even recent creatures from the up-coming 2009 series, how great would that be!" More news on this exhibition will be posted as soon as it becomes available. You can keep checking the Torchwood Exhibition website here for updates. At the moment this exhibition is hoped to be opened by July, just in time for Torchwood series 3, "Children of Earth".

Ood Sigma is Coming Back

The News of the World is running an article which reports that Ood Sigma will be returning in the final Doctor Who special of the year which see's the regeneration of the 10th Doctor. Ood Sigma previously appeared in the series 4 episode "Planet of the Ood" and he was the assistant of Mr Halpen and he helped the Doctor and Donna to free the Ood from slavery. At the end of that episode Ood Sigma revealed to the Doctor that "his song is ending soon". A picture of David Tennant and Ood Sigma filming for the episode has been posted online. The picture was taken on Friday night at the Brandon Estate in London which acts as the Powell Estate in Doctor Who and can be seen below;

A couple of months ago Ood Sigma was spotted filming with David Tennant and Lindsay Duncan for the upcoming Doctor Who special episode, The Waters of Mars, which will air in and around November this year. It seems that Ood Sigma is a key part in the 10th Doctor's regeneration and from the photo taken of the Ood he seems to have red eyes which indicates he is under control, as previously seen in "The Impossible Planet", "The Satan Pit", and "Planet of the Ood". David Tennant's last Doctor Who episode will air at Christmas time this year.
