The BBC has released the first publicity shot from December’s “Voyage of the Damned” Christmas special for “Doctor Who.”
The photo shows series star David Tennant along with pop-star guest-actress Kylie Minogue. This year’s holiday special will be written as usual by series producer Russell T. Davies and will be set on board the Titanic.
Filming on the Christmas episode kicked off the first block of filming for series four of the hit series earlier this week. Davies said the episode would be “ambitious”.
Minogue follows in the footsteps of comic actress Catherine Tate, who starred in the Christmas special last year.
“It is an incredible thrill to be joining David and the entire Dr Who production for this year’s Christmas special,” Minogue said. “Doctor Who enjoys a unique history and it is going to be very exciting to be a part of that.”
Davies said he was “delighted and excited” about the singer’s participation in the special. Minogue’s appareance has long been rumored on the series. Thankfully rumors about pop-star Britney Spears landing a guest role on the show have, so far, proved to be just rumors.
The BBC report also confirms casting details for the special, classic series veterans Geoffrey Palmer (who plays the Titanic’s Captain) and Clive Swift. Additional actors in the episode are Gray O’Brien, Debbie Chazen, Clive Rowe, Russell Tovey, George Cost igan and Jimmy Vee, previously seen in the programme as the Moxx of Balhoon in series one.
“Voyage of the Damned” will air in the UK on Christmas Day.

THE SERIES 4 TRAILER AND VOYAGE OF THE DAMNED LOOKS AWESOME
omg astrid wasnt a tardis omg u set us up into a false sense... it was a teleportation thingy.
i say that ut was sad because astrid fell she was good she fell because she heard the doctor and the commander of the host max talking so astrid took a krane and pushed max but max pushed her in the fire with his krane so that is why i think last nights poformence was sad.
OMG
series 4 trailer was great Sontarans vs UNIT=AWESOME
The trailer for series 4 was awesome
In the series 4 trailer the doctor says "I just want a mate to Donna" and then Donna says "Well your not going to mate with me sunshine"
That cracked me up !!
