They should have a story where the Doctor and Clara go back in time to a concert of The Who in the 1970s, so you could have lots of Who jokes.

    So the Doctor will get up on stage with them to sing "My Re-Generation"? ;-)

    They could do something funny with a character called Doctor Hoo.

    Shame Boris the Spider couldn't have made a brief cameo in Kill The Moon.

    Bit of a come-down after a personal appearance buy the Beatles in their actual prime.

    All the surviving members of The Who (both of them) are geriatric now. It would be embarrassing.

    Personal appearance? I missed that episode!

    At least we actually got the legendary McFly appearing properly in the series 3 finale, in the same sequence as the marvellous Ms Widdecombe. Ahhh....great stuff.


    (or was it Busted?)

    The CGI de-aging of Alice Cooper looked pretty realistic in Dark Shadows. However, it would be a huge undertaking for the sake of a cameo which would only appeal to a small section of the Doctor Who audience.

    PS Nowt against McFly actually! Widdecombe was an, um, 'interesting' choice for a cameo. The 'marvellous' was heavy sarcasm. Not big or clever. Sorry. Wasn't she a supporter of Clause 28 and all that?

    "The Chase", I think, in the Hartnell era - though no doubt somebody will put me right if it wasn't :)

    Well it was a clip used from Top of the Pops. They were going to film a proper cameo but it was stopped. The episode of TotP it is from is now missing and this is the only surviving clip. Ironic in a period when so much DW is missing..

    It was, but I don't count that as a personal appearance cos the clip wasn't filmed for Who. Like ELO and Elton John didn't make a personal appearance in Love and Monsters. ;-)

    What a pedantic git I can be. :kitty:

    ETA Beaten to it by koquillion!

    Bit of trivia. The Doctor does have a Who connection - Arthur Darvill played Keith Moon in a radio drama http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b017x3pl
    I can just picture Moonie trashing the TARDIS and then "parking" it in a swimming pool :)

    Must be going senile to miss the other connection - Sean Pertwee as Ollie Reed in the same drama.
