Doctor Who's Eleven

Tuesday, 23 June 2009

All 11 'Doctor Who' actors are to appear in a charity episode of the show.

David Tennant, who plays the current Doctor will be joined by Matt Smith, who is set to replace him in the role at the end of the year, and their nine predecessors in a one-off 15 minute special for 'Children In Need'.

Three deceased actors - William Hartnell, Jon Pertwee and Patrick Troughton - who have assumed the role of the Time Lord will be seen assisting the Doctor in his mission via images from their original shows.

A source said: "This is a momentous episode for all 'Doctor Who' fans. Never before have all the Doctors been in the same room, let alone the same show.

"It's been a logistical nightmare getting all the actors together and available for shooting on the same days.

"But the script has been started and it's classic 'Doctor Who' - witty and sharp."

All the Doctors - including Paul McGann, Tom Baker, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Peter Davison and Christopher Ecclestone - will make their own distinctive entrances in the episode.

The source added to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Viewers will see the Time Lords regenerating and emerging one by one from the Tardis, each with their own quirky opening line.

"David Tennant is the central character in the episode. He's trying to hunt down some special time travel apparatus. What he's actually lost has not yet been decided, but the idea is for all the Doctors to get together to help him find it."

The episode is expected to be screened on BBC One in November, however network bosses insist it has yet to been confirmed.

A spokesperson for the show said: "Nothing has been finalised yet, although there is discussion of a Children in Need 'Doctor Who' special. It's too early to say what."
