"Voyage of the Damned" is an episode of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It is scheduled to be broadcast on BBC One at Christmas 2007, and is the third Christmas special of the revived Doctor Who series by Russell T. Davies.

Synopsis

This story continues from the final scene in Last of the Time Lords, in which a ship called Titanic has managed to breach an interior wall of the TARDIS.

Cast

Continuity

The Titanic and Doctor Who

The RMS Titanic has been mentioned a number of times previously, but this marks its first actual appearance.

  • In the Fourth Doctor story The Invasion of Time (1978), the Doctor claims that he "wasn't responsible" for the disaster.
  • In Rose, Clive, a conspiracy theorist, shows Rose an old photograph of the Ninth Doctor with "the Daniels family of Southampton", on the eve of their scheduled voyage on board the Titanic. For an unspecified reason, they cancelled their trip and so survived the infamous iceberg collision and sinking.
  • In the following episode, The End of the World, the Ninth Doctor mentions that he "was on board another ship once. They said that was unsinkable. I ended up clinging to an iceberg, it wasn't half cold."

The Titanic did appear in the Virgin New Adventures book The Left-Handed Hummingbird, written by Kate Orman. Like all spin-off media, the canonicity of this appearance is unclear.

Pre-broadcast publicity

  • Kylie Minogue was reported by several newspapers to be appearing in this episode. While Minogue stated that she would be in the episode, Davies stated that she wouldn't due to other commitments on her part. Russell T Davies was also quoted saying "I haven't even written the script yet, and a woman like (Kylie) would be booked two years in advance."
