The episode is titled Is There Life on Mars? and will air on BBC Three after BBC One show The Waters of Mars at 7:00pm.

It is the beginning of the end for David Tennant's Doctor, and Confidential is on a mission to Mars to capture the strange goings on in Bowie base one.

There are explosions, robots and gallons of water as the Doctor meets one of his heroes and battles against his greatest ever foe - time itself.' Is There Life on Mars? will air on Sunday the 15th of November at 8:00pm on BBC Three and for the first time ever it will also air on BBC HD. It will run until 9:00pm.

Cheryl Cole Offered A Place In Upcoming Fifth Series of Doctor Who According to The Mirror

According to The Mirror X Factor judge Cheryl Cole has been offered a guest spot in the next series of Doctor Who. For those of you who don't know Cheryl Cole (shame on you), she is a singer (both solo and as part of Girls Aloud) and she is also a judge on the countries top talent search, The X Factor. She has worked hard to this day to make her one of the most famous people in the country and one of the few names on everybody's lips. If the sources are to be believed the BBC want the British sensation in the TARDIS alongside new Doctor Matt Smith. The talk is of a cameo role but if she can act the star could be offered a longer part. A BBC spokesperson refused to confirm this speculation, saying: "The BBC will not be commenting on casting or storyline speculation for the new series of Doctor Who." Meanwhile another source seemed eager to speak saying: "If she can find the time, a part will be written for her." The fifth series of Doctor Who will broadcast on BBC One and BBC HD during Spring. But will Cheryl star or have we been misled? Would you like Cheryl in Doctor Who? After all she's one of the most loved females in the country. Getting her involved with Doctor Who would be great for the BBC show.
