Lindsay Duncan to Star in Doctor Who

The Picture Above was made by me, please do not use anywhere else.

It's been confirmed by the BBC that 58 year old actress, Lindsay Duncan will play a character

called Adelaide in the second of the planned four 2009-10 specials.

"I'm thrilled to be involved in Doctor Who. I've never done anything like

this before and I'm really looking forward to working with David Tennant and the Doctor Who team."

Duncan previously appeared in shows such as Rome and Criminal Justice.

The special is rumoured to air at around Summer or Halloween time and will be preceded by the Easter special, Planet of The Dead, which stars Michelle Ryan as the companion.

Planet of The Dead - Filming Pictures

Here are some of the Latest pics from the upcoming special, Planet of The Dead, which began filming on Monday Night, the Special will air at around Easter but no official airdate has been announced. And as I said in an earlier post I really think you should check out Planet Gallifrey. It's always the first to get these pictures.

Malcom and Christina Revealed

This Has not yet been officially confirmed but apparently Lee Evans will play a character called Malcom in the upcoming special, Planet of The Dead. It was also revealed that ex-EastEnders star, Michelle Ryan will star as Lady Christina de Souza. Herself and the Doctor will take a bus trip that has a detour into danger... Although according to Combom (who I should really give credit to for this post) Lee Evans might not appear has he has used the name 'Malcom' before as he often used this dysfunctional character to illustrate how he viewed unusual people in the world. And as I said earlier credit to Combom for this post! :)

Michelle Ryan Set to Be Next Companion

Former EastEnder's star, Michelle Ryan, is reportedly going to play The Eleventh Doctor's companion next year in Series 5. A source on the show said: "Michelle's been in secret talks with BBC bosses. She previously auditioned to become Billie Piper's replacemnet but tthat was given to Freema Agymen. You can read the full article here at the Mirror website. Remember this could be false and the BBC are yet to announce, officially who will be the next Companion.
