The BBC have issued the following press release regarding the 'red
button' Doctor Who special:
After the credits roll on Doctor Who's first Christmas special, The Christmas Invasion, viewers will
be given an opportunity for a further adventure with the Doctor.
By pressing the red button they have the chance to become
the Doctor's companion in a truly interactive mission of their own.
Attack of the Graske is a pioneering mix of live action,
state-of-the-art special effects (from multi-award-winning The Mill) and individual tasks.
Starring David Tennant as the
tenth Time Lord, with Jimmy Vee as The Graske, Attack of the Graske features an entirely new threat – an alien species
intent on taking over the Earth.
In a series of challenges the viewer will be tested on all the skills necessary to keep
the Universe safe – you'll even have a chance to fly the TARDIS!
One of the producers, Sophie Fante, says: "Attack
of the Graske gives the viewer the unique opportunity to immerse themselves fully in the world of Doctor Who.
"We aimed
to make the challenge with the same scope and feel of the main series and, in Attack of The Graske, the viewer finds themselves
not only flying the TARDIS with the Doctor but fighting the Graske on the planet Griffoth and hunting him out in Victorian
London.
"Filming was great fun because of the variety of locations within a relatively short shoot.
"The high point
was creating an authentic Dickensian Christmas scene, complete with snow, in a small corner of Cardiff."
Through a series
of tests using the arrow keys on their digital remote control, viewers will be tested on observation, dexterity, memory and
bravery as the epic story unfolds across time and space.
Participants will travel into the past and to a strange new world,
battling a determined and evil foe.
Throughout the adventure, the Doctor will be on hand to give advice, encouragement,
and even step in when things go wrong.
But don't expect any favours – he only takes the best.
Written by Gareth
Roberts and directed by Ashley Way. Executive Producers are Russell T Davies and Julie Gardner (Head of Drama, BBC Wales).
Produced by Sophie Fante and interactive producers Jo Pearce and Andrew Whitehouse.
Made in Cardiff, by New Media and BBC
Wales, Attack of the Graske is in the vanguard of BBC's TV Plus initiative and is part of its commitment to quality, creativity
and innovation.
And remember, Doctor Who - The Christmas Invasion is on Christmas Day at 7.00pm on BBC ONE.

Thanks to Jennifer for letting us know that Casanova
received the award for 'Best imported miniseries/telemovie' from the Sydney Morning Herald’s
couch potato awards. From ‘The Guide’, here is what Jacqui Taffel had to say:
Funny, witty, colourful and naughty with excellent writing, acting, dancing and costumes, Casanova (ABC) got the big smooch. The against-type
casting of David Tennant was genius. “He wasn’t good looking, but
I’d give him one,” said one female judge. Runner-up was Richard Four Weddings Curtis’s Girl in the Café (ABC). Though some found
it cloying, with gaping plot holes, the pairing of Bill Nighy and Kelly MacDonald was eminently
watchable and no one was arguing with the right-on political message.

Many thanks to our friends at Outpost Gallifrey for the above photo and the following detals about the new issue of DWM:
Put on a party hat, pull a cracker, and countdown the hours to The Christmas Invasion with the new issue of Doctor
Who Magazine!
This issue, the magazine speaks exclusively to Billie Piper - the Doctor's companion, Rose - in a massive
'0-page interview. Billie chats about how Rose will cope with the new Doctor in the Christmas Special and Series Two...
"Rose
is a bit more possessive this time around. I think it's because she feels like she's lost the Doctor once, and she doesn't
want to lose him again. She's become a bit more jealous, which is something that's quite funny, but also destructive, as we'll
find out...
"Sometimes Christmas specials don't really include Christmas. But ours does. There's lots of Christmas...
and I'm such a Christmas freak! So yeah, Christmas and a new Doctor, and an alien invasion. And isn't that everything
that you could possibly want from a Christmas special? Oh, and crackers!"
Plus, of course, there's a full preview to
the Tenth Doctor's festive debut, with dozens of photos from the story.
Meanwhile Steven Moffat, writer of the poll-winning
The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances looks back at the success of his first Doctor Who adventure and chats about writing
for the new Doctor in The Girl in the Fireplace.
Plus: there's a look back at 2005 in the Review of the Year; Sorvad
takes a journey with the Ghost of Christmas Past; and a very special story, Voice from the Vortex, which has dropped through
from a terrifying parallel dimension.
Meanwhile, the Watcher returns with his Christmas Quiz; the Time Team watch The
Armageddon Factor; the Ninth Doctor reaches his final comic strip adventure, A Groatsworth of Wit; and Russell T Davies returns
with his own special version of The Twelve Days of Christmas in Production Notes...
