Doctor Who is set to meet Hollywood if the latest rumours to hit TV Towers are true.
According to reports, Hollywood actress Claire Bloom is set to appear in David Tennant's final episode - as the Doctor's mum.
The 78-year-old actress found fame when she was chosen by Charlie Chaplin to appear in his 1952 film, Limelight. Claire was also known for a couple of high-profile romances with stars such as Richard Burton and Laurence Olivier.
The actress is expected to appear in the upcoming festive two-parter, to be screened on Christmas Day and New Year's Day.
A friend told the Daily Mail: "The script is a very closely guarded secret as the producers are desperate for Claire's appearance to be a surprise."
The BBC have declined to comment, but Claire's manager Marion Rosenberg added: "It is happening. They are filming at the moment."
The story will see David Tennant's Doctor clash with old enemy The Master, played by John Simm. The X-Files actress Gillian Anderson is also rumoured to appear as The Rani.
Word is that the Doctor will battle more Time Lords after discovering they have become evil. But which side his mother will be on is unclear.
Companions Donna (Catherine Tate), Martha (Freema Agyeman), Captain Jack (John Barrowman) and Sarah Jane (Lis Sladen) are also set to return, while Matt Smith will make his debut when the Doctor regenerates.
An insider said: "The producers are throwing everything they've got into Tennant's finale. He will go out with a bang."
This is gonna be beyond amazing
