Lady Gaga may appear in Doctor Who, storyline already planned

When Lady Gaga sang, "I'll get him hot, show him what I've got," could she have been talking about a certain Time Lord? According to Doctor Who scriptwriter Gareth Roberts, as quoted in OK magazine, we may get a chance to find out, as a role is being considered for the envelope-pushing singer.

"She is no stranger to dressing up and would be more than a match for the Doctor," Roberts said. "It would be a great coup to get her."

Gareth also revealed that he has already come up with a possible storyline for Lady Gaga's guest-starring appearance.

Published Monday 7 June 2010 at 18:53 by Alistair Smith

Doctor Who spin-off Torchwood is to return for a fourth series, thanks to a co-production deal between BBC Cymru Wales, BBC Worldwide and US network Starz Entertainment.

The ten episode series will be written by a team led by Torchwood creator Russell T Davies and produced by BBC Worldwide Productions. Davies and BBC Worldwide Productions’ senior vice president for scripted programmes Julie Gardner return as executive producers with BBC Worldwide Productions executive vice president Jane Tranter.

The series has been commissioned by BBC One controller Jay Hunt, BBC Drama controller Ben Stephenson, and Starz president and chief executive Chris Albrecht.

While previous series were based on location in Cardiff, the new series will include locations in the US and around the world. John Barrowman and Eve Myles will return in their roles as Captain Jack and Gwen respectively, along with new characters.

Stephenson said: “We have a long history of working with many US networks but it is incredibly exciting to be working with Starz for the first time, as well as to be reunited with the best of British in Russell, Jane and Julie. Torchwood will burst back onto the screen with a shocking and moving story with global stakes and locations that will make it feel bigger and bolder than ever”

Should be interesting to see that season 4 would be a collaborative development between the US and UK. At least it isn't going to be a fully "American-ised" version of Torchwood.

Oh please that would be a "jump the shark" moment if ever that happens..... I don't what that no talent hack on Dr. Who.

[Replicator Todd]

I guess i'm the only one who likes Lady Gaga.

[BruTak]

I guess i'm the only one who likes Lady Gaga.

Looks like.


Am I the only one who's sick to death of all these so-called "celebrities" appearing in Doctor Who?

[Coco Pops]

Oh please that would be a "jump the shark" moment if ever that happens..... I don't what that no talent hack on Dr. Who.

And just to clarify I wasn't overly thrilled when Kylie Mingogue did a guest role either.

[BruTak]

And just to clarify I wasn't overly thrilled when Kylie Mingogue did a guest role either.

Yes, but at least she could actually act.

[Coco Pops]

Yes, but at least she could actually act.

That is true...... While not thrilled about it I will say she did a wonderful job in "VOTD"
