The Sun reports that David Bowie is set to appear in Doctor Who's fourth season, as a weird alien who kidnaps crime author Agatha Christie in a two-part episode. Christie genuinely went missing for 11 days back in 1926, without explanation.
Who's producers are said to have been impressed by Bowie's portrayal of inventor Nikola Tesla in The Prestige, and the 60-year-old music legend has a cult appeal thanks to roles in The Man Who Fell To Earth and Labyrinth.
I'm not sure if this latest rumour will be proven correct, as Bowie's people deny everything, but a Who insider insists he's agreed to star -- but only if there's no disfiguring make-up involved.
For me, it's more revealing that season 4's Agatha Christie storyline is to be a two-part episode, because we know writer Steven Moffat is penning a two-part story next year. Is he the brains behind the Christie idea?
Moffat recently re-imagined author Robert Louis Stevenson's personal life to reflect a weird reality behind his novel The Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde... resulting in his thriller Jekyll.
Is Moffat doing the same for Christie now?
