Christmas Special 2007

Voyage of the Damned (60 minute special) - 25 December 2007 @ 7.00 pm
Writer: Russell T. Davies

Cast:

The Doctor: David Tennant
Astrid: Kylie Minogue
Captain of the Titanic: Geoffrey Palmer

The story continues from the final scene in 'Last of the Time Lords', in which the ocean liner R.M.S. Titanic crashes through the walls of the TARDIS console room just as it is dematerialising. Who or what could have caused the collision? Kylie Minogue, the singer/actress will have a major lead role in this hour-long episode. Kylie will perform as Astrid. Who is Astrid? So far we know she is a waitress aboard the ill-fated vessel Titanic. 'Astrid' is an anagram of TARDIS. Perhaps she is a 'Human Tardis'?

The following is speculation of what might happen from what is known so far. The Doctor finds that time is being manipulated by aliens called Porgs and he gets the help of a young waitress aboard the Titanic. The Titanic is about to leave on its maiden voyage so the adventure will probably continue until the ship strikes the iceberg.
