- The Doctor and Amy, in the TARDIS
EVERYONE ooohed and aahed when it was revealed that Michael Gambon and Katherine Jenkins and probably the Yeti would be in the Doctor Who Christmas special.
But if some of the names popping up on a seemingly genuine IMDB page are true, then Steven Moffat has really gone to town.
For starters there is Matthew Waterhouse as dead companion Adric‘s Ghost, Brian Blessed as Omega (the renegade time lord from The Three Doctors) and Nic Briggs as the voice of the Cyber Daleks (WTF?).
If your cloister bell wasn’t ringing, then how about this. The page also has a host of uncredited roles – which could mean seen in flashback clips I suppose – that includes John Simm as The Master, Alex Kingston as River Song and … wait for it … TOM BAKER AS THE DOCTOR!!!!!
I think my countdown of the days until Christmas may begin a little earlier this year, even if this is almost certainly complete bollocks.

Hi thanks for visiting my site – glad to find another big scifi fan. Love the look of your site and all the info you’ve got and managed to compile! If Tom Baker were to really make an appearance that would be something else. He was prior to the current incarnation – definitely and without a doubt my favorite Doctor. His quirky character was something that really made the show for me and to some extent I feel that Matt Smith is a real throwback to that also.
The Adric’s Ghost thing is gloriously unhinged. Do hope the Yeti rumour is true.
Adric’s Ghost and Cyber Daleks? Do me a lemon. I’m reminded of the casting rumours a couple of years ago that suggested Patrick Stewart would play the Meddling Monk.
And Catherine Tate… oh.
I don’t care! Yes it may be bollocks but in my head it is already the greatest Doctor Who episode ever
The danger with IMDB pages is, like Wikipedia, they’re pretty wide open to editing. So this could just be people speculating based on the “Christmas Carol” theme…
