I am really pleased to hear this as fans of both Dr Who and the actor himself........David Bowie!!

He will cross swords with the Tardis's Time Lord, actor David Tennant when he kidnaps crime author Agatha Christie who did in fact go missing for over a week in real life (nice touch writers )

Producers said Bowie, 60, will make a perfect villain because of his "great other-worldly look". although Bowie is reported to have expressed interest only if he is not required through hours of make-up for the TV show as he is fed up of being casted as green headed Aliens

The star joins celebrities Kylie Minogue and Catherine Tate as a guest stars on the popular show. The programme will be shown on BBC1 next year.

Cool. Will we find out.... Is there life on Mars?

Now I am deflated it seems that it is just a rumour and David Bowie's web site says no he is not and its "tish and tosh"

never mind, it would have been very good if he had been

Some come on David, cha cha cha change you mind please!
