The Queen was left intrigued by the Tardis feature at the Chelsea Flower Show earlier this week.

As reported by Outpost Gallifrey last Friday, the Doctor's time-travelling police box - complete with light and sound effects - is the centrepiece of the display called A Garden In Time, which has been created by Cardiff Council landscape officer Mo Dorken and her team.

It shows the changes in the world since the start of the series in 1963 and includes a 1960s Cardiff rugby shirt and a Doctor Who annual with William Hartnell on the cover.

The Royal Family were exploring the Royal Horticultural Society's annual show on Monday and the Queen stopped off to look at the revolving Tardis.

It is in a "void" separating a 1960s urban garden from a modern one based around contemporary gardening ideas and styles, with an emphasis on sustainability, recycling and climate change.

The official website of the Prince of Wales and Hello Magazine report Dorken as saying: "The Queen was asking 'Why is there a Tardis there?'

"I was explaining how we were having a Doctor Who theme and a Sixties part of the garden because it was when the series first started."

Celebrities were also in attendance at the show on the eve of it opening to the public, including Joanna Lumley, who played the Doctor in the 1999 Comic Relief spoof The Curse of Fatal Death, written by Steven Moffat.

The flower show is open until Saturday.

Anyone who missed John Barrowman on yesterday's edition of Friday Night With Jonathan Ross - in which a preview clip from Utopia was to be shown, according to the official programme website - can catch it again early tomorrow (Sunday).

On the chat show, Barrowman talks about the return of Captain Jack Harkness to Doctor Who in Utopia, which is episode 11.

The repeat of Ross's show is due to be broadcast on BBC1 at 1.35am.

Fast on the heels of the officially unconfirmed reports of Kylie Minogueappearing in the 2007 Christmas Special come two more rumors. Today, The Sun reports that Woody Allen will be appearing as Albert Einstein in the Christmas Special. It is possible that this report is a mangled version of this story from the Daily Mail about Rebecca Hall, who will be appearing both in Allen's next movie and in Einstein and Eddington alongside David Tennant.

Also, SyFyPortal reports new interest in a Doctor Who movie starringPaul McGann.

Outpost Gallifrey stresses that there has been no confirmation of any of these rumors, and any or all may prove completely groundless.

David-Tennant.com has released the following statement issued by the BBC for the upcoming episode Human Nature.

Totally Doctor Who will be broadcast in it's normal time slot this week, despite the week delay for 42. Freema Agyeman (Martha),Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Tish), Adjoa Andoh(Francine) and Trevor Laird(Clive) will all be on-hand this week for a conversation on being the new WHO family. Also in the episode will be Barney Curnow who worked on the Lazarus monster.

Entertainment Weekly has chosen Doctor Who as one of the top 25 moments in sci-fi over the past 25 years. It credits the show as "an ecstatically tangled, infinitely renewable story line" for its success and compliments it for being "unerringly progressive, but wary, dark, and full of doubts about human goodness." It's placed at number 23, but refers toChristopher Eccleston as the latest Doctor.

The Sun today carries a piece saying there has been a rush of bets on unknown actorJulian Walsh becoming the Eleventh Doctor.The article quotes Darren Haines of bookmaker Paddy Power as saying: "Julian might not look the part as he's a bit squat and bald.

"But he's the one people have been trying to back in the last 48 hours.

"At first he was not even on our books, but we've had to slash his odds to 12/1. We fear punters might know something we don't. We're not convinced they're right, but we have to sit up and take note."

A spokesman for Walsh said the actor, pictured right, was "bemused by all of this", adding: "Nobody has approached us yet."

One punter reportedly wanted to place a 2,500 pound bet on Walsh, who is best known from 1980s show Jossy's Giants.

The bookmaker currently has Robert Carlyle as 5-2 favourite - and Ricky Gervais at 66-1.
