"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 is a continuation of the final scene in "Last of the Time Lords", where the Titanic somehow manages to ram its way through the TARDIS' wall.

Cast

Continuity

The Titanic and Doctor Who

This episode will mark the first time the Doctor has explicitly been seen dealing with the Titanic. However, the ship has been mentioned a number of times previously.

  • 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 a photograph of the Ninth Doctor with "the Daniels family of Southampton", on the eve of their scheduled voyage on the Titanic. For an unspecified reason, they cancelled their trip and survived.
  • In "The End of the World", the Ninth Doctor mentions that he "Once went on a ship they said was unsinkable, and I ended up clinging to an iceberg in the middle of the Atlantic". The exact incarnation of the Doctor which did this is not specified, although the Seventh Doctor was on board the Titanic in the Virgin New Adventures novel The Left-Handed Hummingbird by Kate Orman (which is of uncertain canonicity). He did not, however, end up on an iceberg in that story.

Rumours

  • Kylie Minogue is rumoured to be in this episode. Kylie herself has said to be in this episode but not as a villian. However Russell T Davies told Ariel (newspaper) that she would not be appearing.
