Dr Who and 007 bond over Xmas special
Saturday 28 November 2009
Dalton, who starred as 007 in films 'The Living Daylights' and 'Licence To Kill', will play The Narrator in the Doctor's adventures over Christmas, as he makes his final journey.
Full details of Dalton's character are being kept under wraps, but there has been speculation that he will be a 'baddie'.
Praising Dalton's down-to-earth attitude to the Radio Times, Tennant said: 'He had the panache and the skill of a movie star, without any of the alarming eccentricities or peculiar demands.
'At one point, he was singing the Doctor Who theme tune to me as I sang the James Bond theme tune to him!'
The grand finale, titled 'The End Of Time', will be shown in two parts and see Tennant bow out as the 10th Doctor, before regenerating into actor Matt Smith.
The episodes will see the Doctor's psychotic nemesis the Master, played by Life On Mars actor John Simm, re-born.
Bernard Cribbins, Catherine Tate and June Whitfield will also make appearances.
