While Sharon Osbourne has so far been the only member of the Osbourne family to appear in Doctor Who, her daughter Kelly was played by India Fisher in the Dead Ringers sketches and India had been in Doctor Who as Eighth Doctor (Big Finish) companion Charley Pollard.

Tonight's episode is guest hosted by Chris Moyles who is a broadcaster in the UK. Based on remarks made by members of the then Outpost Gallifrey forum some years before the current Doctor Who TV series came along this person has not been kind to Doctor Who. From what I read at the time Moyles ridiculed Sylvester McCoy because of Doctor Who and even called Doctor Who fans "loopy".

Do not know what his opinion of the current Doctor Who TV series as I think he interviewed Billie Piper after her Doctor Who fame.

Thought I let my fellow fans know what I know about this person if it helps you decide not to watch this particular episode.

Trisha was just absolutely lovely. There is not more I can say.

Noel Edmonds guest hosts tonight's episode. Anyone who has been buying the classic Doctor Who DVD releases would know who he is.

Overall Noel Edmonds episode was not bad.

Meanwhile tonight's episode is guest hosted by John Barrowman.

John was hilarious. The programme also included Justin Lee Collins and Alan Carr visiting the Hub but no Torchwood parody. It also had a cameo by David Tennant when he asked a question which I don't think it would be appropriate to repeat here. I will only say that it was about three choices each applying to Tennant, Collins and Carr.

Tennant starred in another episode of FNP, which can be found on YouTube (season 6, episode 2), but I'm trying to use my space/time visualizer to acquire a more permanent copy.

In David Tennant's second episode Justin Lee Collins asks the audience if they had been any sexier Doctor Who than David Tennant. The audience answered a resounding 'no' but someone shouted out Tom Baker. Collins follow-up with this with William Hartnell and co-host Alan Carr said Sylvester McCoy.

This was originally shown in the UK on March 28 this year a week before the 2008 season came on air on the BBC and Collins mentioned something that is a spoiler for the final two episodes of the season - which I will reveal after the said Doctor Who season ends on ABC1.

Freema Agyeman was also there for the "Who Knows The Most About The Guest Host" segment.

The prank that David plays here is David's Misery. It is a parody on Stephen King's Misery and it was to demonstrate how disturbing Doctor Who obsession can be.

During an ad break an ad for The Catherine Tate Show came on which is interesting since the then upcoming season as mentioned in The Friday Night Project had Collins saying about the anticipation of Catherine as a full-time companion.

Last night's episode had Reggie Yates appearing in the Who Knows The Most About the Guest Host segment. The guest host being Elijah Wood.
Later on in the programme Elijah Wood's Lord of the Rings co-star Sir Ian McKellan briefly appeared. For those who are unaware or have forgotten Sir Ian did a Doctor Who sketch some years ago on Saturday Night Live.
