We know what you’re thinking. How does Christopher Lee’s enjoyably atmospheric Amicus reworking of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde link with Dr Who and Children in Need? Well, not only does it use the same doesn’t-quite-work tracking camera 3D photography as the infamous “Who does Albert Square” Children In Need special Dimensions in Time, it also features, alongside Peter Cushing, Richard “William Hartnell’s stand-in for The Five Doctors Children In Need special” Hurndall. Fascinating, eh? We’ve got tons of this sort of stuff.

The Eurovision Song Contest
Saturday, 20.00, BBC1Jess Cully writes, “Nicki French was certainly our singer the last time the Contest was held in Sweden, but the host city then was Stockholm. The Contest is huge in Sweden and none of its major cities would be allowed to hog the Contest by hosting it twice in a row, hence the choice of Malmo this year. If Sweden wins it again in the near future, expect us to be either back in Stockholm or in Gothenburg.” Indeed, but even though we’ve not enjoyed it quite so much since the Beeb stopped making the scoreboard and got its logo on it every few minutes, we’re still there ready to enjoy the spectacle, and it seems like Graham Norton, for our money probably the best light entertainment presenter on TV at the moment, has been doing this forever.
There’s a few cases of more than 1 actor who’s played Dr Who turning up in something, not counting “The X Doctors” anniversary stories of course.
