David Bowie on Doctor Who!

August 31st, 2007 in Actors, Sci-Fi, TV

BowieZiggy Stardust will turn up on the hit BBC series, Doctor Who. Musician David Bowie will be playing . . . what else . . . but an alien. 

And like his character in Labyrinth, Bowie’s character appears to be at least somewhat morally questionable. Though the British newspaper The Sun held very little details, it did mention Bowie’s character will clash with David Tenant’s titular Doctor Who.

According to The Sun, “Bowie said he’d be interested as long as he’s not subjected to hours of disfiguring make-up.” This is no problem - Tenant’s Doctor Who is an alien as well, and looks completely normal save for his actor-spanning regenerative powers and two hearts-per-chest.

Bowie is far from the first musical muscle to grace the popular science fiction show. Pop singer Kylie Minogue is expected to appear in the series and former pop star Billie Piper gained an extraordinary following which rivaled even the Doctor playing companion Rose Tyler.

The two-part Doctor Who episode is expected to air sometime next year.

    BBC said yesterday the story wasn’t true.

    Don’t feel bad, I printed the story as well thanks to IMDB.
