Dr Who Christmas preview sees David Tennant go for Hawaiian look

Updated 09:45am on 20 Nov 2009


Outgoing Timelord David Tennant looks ready for a holiday in the Christmas special of Doctor Who.

Christmas special: David Tennant as The Doctor in The End of Time, Part One

The Doctor dons a Hawaiian-style garland, a straw hat, and shades his eyes with a pair of sunglasses, despite the snowy white backdrop.

The pictures form part of a tantalising sneak preview set to air on tonight's Children in Need.

The clip, from the special titled The End of Time, Part One, will keep fans guessing over what is in store as Tennant prepares to bow out, regenerating into Matt Smith as the 11th Doctor.

Viewers have seen the current Doctor realise his time is running out, and characters such as The Master, played by John Simm, will make a return for the story's big climax.

Tennant said: "Doctor Who has always been a big supporter of Children in Need.

"We're really pleased that this year our very special Christmas story is being exclusively previewed on the show.

"Doctor Who fans are always very generous - I hope you will be too. Please give what you can."

The two-minute exclusive will be broadcast tonight as part of Children in Need on BBC1 at 7pm.

Camp as Christmas, as usual. Russell T. Davies may well have 'regenerated' the Doctor Who oeuvre but he's left it camp as a row of tents.
