From The Doctor Who News Page:
The Doctor Who News Page would like to remind its readers about
"Time Crash", the special Doctor Who scene which will air Friday night as part of the
Children in Need telethon. The telethon airs on BBC One starting at 7:00. The
Radio Times indicates that
Time Crash will air between 8:00 and 8:30, but the Children in Need schedule is always fluid, so this may or may not be accurate.
"Time Crash" stars
David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor and
Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor. It is written by
Steven Moffat and directed by
Graeme Harper, who previously directed Peter Davison in his final Doctor Who story,
The Caves of Androzani. The scene is expected to be between five and seven minutes long.
The
BBC's Doctor Who website has announced that fans in the UK will be able to view "Time Crash" online for seven days after its broadcast, as well as a special
Doctor Who Confidential featurette
In addition to "Time Crash", the Children in Need telethon will include a singing appearance by
John Barrowman, which is also scheduled by Radio Times in the 8:00-to-8:30 slot. Christmas special guest star
Kylie Minogue will also be singing her new single,
"2 Hearts", sometime during the evening's events.
On Thursday,
Mark Shift of Clitheroe, Lancashire won a
Children in Need auction for a day on the Doctor Who set. Shift entered the bidding for his five-year-old son Joshua (whom he describes as a "Doctor Who fanatic"), and won with a bid of 37,000 UK pounds. Shift is interviewed in
The Clitheroe Advertiser, his local newspaper.
