He is such a charming gentleman. I was instantly at ease.
— Trent Reznorà propos de David Bowie

Les médias anglo-saxons semblent user et abuser du tardis lorsqu'il s'agit de Bowie. Après une première tentative dans les années 80, une seconde en 2000 voici que le Sun nous le révèle : Bowie va interpréter un rôle dans la célèbre série Dr Who. Le démenti n'a pas tardé...

2007.08 29 Bnet

Tomorrow's (Thursday) Sun newspaper in the UK has a half page exclusive regarding a supposed forthcoming appearance by David Bowie in the popular TV series, Dr Who. Here's a bit from it...

ROCK legend David Bowie is set to star in Dr Who — as an evil alien abductor.

Producers reckon the Ziggy Stardust singer, now 60, makes a perfect villain because of his “great other-worldly look”.

And he will cross swords with the Tardis’s Time Lord when he kidnaps crime author Agatha Christie — who in real life mysteriously vanished for 11 days in 1926.

Bowie’s willingness to appear in the two-part Dr Who special, to be shown on BBC1 next year, will surprise many of his fans.

Indeed it will surprise many of his fans, as the whole story is as much news to them as it is to him. David Bowie is not planning to star in Dr Who and the whole story is "absolute tish and tosh".

Whatever the intention behind The Sun's story, it certainly wouldn't be the first time that Dr Who producers have approached Bowie to appear in the show. If memory serves, he spurned their advances in the eighties too.

Ziggy Tardis for Doctor Who

ROCK legend David Bowie is set to star in Dr Who — as an evil alien abductor.

Producers reckon the Ziggy Stardust singer, now 60, makes a perfect villain because of his “great other-worldly look”.

And he will cross swords with the Tardis’s Time Lord when he kidnaps crime author Agatha Christie — who in real life mysteriously vanished for 11 days in 1926.

Bowie’s willingness to appear in the two-part Dr Who special, to be shown on BBC1 next year, will surprise many of his fans.

Although he donned tons of face paint during his glam rock heyday, he has stipulated he will not sit through hours of make-up for the TV show.
And he has often complained that after playing an alien in cult movie The Man Who Fell To Earth, he was only offered roles as “green-headed Martians”.

Bowie, who had a heart attack in 2004, was approached for the part by Dr Who chiefs. They were impressed with his performance as an inventor in 2006 movie The Prestige.

Bowie’s spokesman denied he was involved.

But an insider on the show, which stars David Tennant as the Time Lord, said: “Bowie said he’d be interested as long as he’s not subjected to hours of disfiguring make-up.”
