Confirming recently circulating rumors, the BBC announced today that Nick Frost will guest-star in this year’s Doctor Who Christmas special.
Nick comments: “I’m so thrilled to have been asked to guest in the Doctor Who Christmas special, I’m such a fan of the show. The read-through was very difficult for me; I wanted to keep stuffing my fingers into my ears and scream “No spoilers!” Every day on set I’ve had to silence my internal fan boy squeals!”
Nick’s frequent partner in crime Simon Pegg appeared in the Eccleston adventure The Long Game as the Editor of Satellite Five, and servant of the Mighty Jagrafess of the Editor-in-Chief, the Holy Hadrojassic Maxarodenfoe (And yes, I used cut and paste, there’s none of us perfect). Other members of the Pegg / Frost / Edgar Wright repertory company who have appeared on the series include Michael Smiley in...

Regenerations. They are part and parcel of keeping Doctor Who alive, both for the character and the programme. It's such a simple notion, but one that works perfectly. When William Hartnell was announced as leaving the show, well, why couldn't a man who travels in a police box change his face? The initial premise may have been cautiously accepted, but in a very short while, that excellent actor Patrick Troughton made the part all his own. The rest as they say is history.
So here then is a quick guide to all the final moments to date of each Doctor. It's time to play the Regeneration Game!
Death by: Old Age
Which Story? The Tenth Planet
Where? The Tardis
Notable Firsts: Obviously the first regeneration to take place, but it's also the first one to take place in the Tardis. The strange behaviour of the Tardis console suggests that it's pushing the regeneration process forward,...

Tonight's concluding part of Doctor Who special The End of Time saw in the new year with the departure of David Tennant.
After a rather mixed first instalment - involving a silly plan by the resurrected Master - it was time for a tearful goodbye and then Matt Smith emerged from the regeneration process ready for the next series in the spring.
So, what did you think? Did the episode work? Was it a good send-off for Tennant's Time Lord?
If you haven't yet seen the episode, there are Spoilers Ahead...
Thankfully, this second part corrected some of the weaker parts of the first instalment, with Timothy Dalton's Time Lord leader using a supercharged gauntlet to zap away the Master-race subplot (which brought us John Simm in a skirt). Meanwhile Bernard Cribbins, whose performance was one of the strengths of the earlier episode, was given a greater role in the story.
