Knitting for Girls

Who needs Scouting For Girls when you've got the Doctor? Sadly we must wait until Xmas for the next installment.

o miss hartigan

*****spoiler alert*****
have just finished watching the xmas doctor who special and am so sad that the evil miss mercy hartigan, as played by dervla kirwin, was destroyed at the end of the programme. kirwin is stunningly merciless, and i am in love with her :-)

i've not seen her in anything before, but she has been the voice of marks and spencer for a while. with regard to the xmas special, she was interviewed here by the telegraph.

here's an interview by paul o'grady ... in doctor who she is terribly londonish, but here you hear her full irish accent:

we should be so lucky

guess who is the guest star of the doctor who xmas episode?! the bbc website reported today (after i'd read all the martha stuff):

"Kylie Minogue on board for Titanic festive special.

We're all feeling lucky, lucky, lucky that Kylie Minogue is to take a major lead role in the hour-long Doctor Who Christmas special, to be broadcast in December 2007. Especially for you, Kylie will be travelling light years to join David Tennant for the episode, Voyage Of The Damned, which starts filming in July in Cardiff. "We are delighted and excited to announce that Kylie Minogue will be joining the Doctor," revealed Executive Producer and lead writer Russell T Davies. "Doctor Who Xmas specials are always a joy and we feel very confident that this will be the most ambitious and best Christmas episode yet." "It is an incredible thrill to be joining David and the entire Doctor Who production for this year's Christmas special," added Kylie. "Doctor Who enjoys a unique history and it is going to be very exciting to be a part of that."

The production team has also confirmed that the story, written by Russell, will follow on directly from the ending of series three where viewers witnessed The Titanic crash through the Tardis walls."
