Sophie, Countess Of Wessex is to throw a royal party in honour of Doctor Who's fiftieth anniversay, according to The Radio Times.
The swanky bash will be held on the 18th of November at Buckingham Palace. Palace representatives have yet to confirm a guest list, but it is thought that cast and crew from all eras of the show will be invited.
The Countess has been chosen to host because she herself is understood to be a big fan of the series. However, Charles, Prince of Wales and his wife the Duchess of Cornwall are also said to be very fond of the show, with Charles having paid a visit to the set in July, where he got a chance to play with the Daleks, and use a Dalek voice modulator to utter their famous "Exterminate" catchphrase.
Showrunner Steven Moffat said of the Prince's visit: "I haven't thought about how I could weave a meeting between the Doctor and the royal family. But Prince Charles's attempt at being a Dalek was great. There would be a part in the show for him if he wanted it."
Prince Charles has previously appeared in an episode of Coronation Street. HRH The Queen has appeared (as a character, not in person) in Who twice before, in The Voyage Of The Damned and in the twenty-fifth anniversary story Silver Nemesis.
But given the severe acting chops she showed when she performed alongside Daniel Craig at the Olympics last Summer, can an actual appearance in Who be far off?
Lots of planets have a Queen Elizabeth II
Yeah, probably.
