Doctor Who: Alistair Appleton makes cameo appearance
Alistair Appleton, known for his presenting roles on BBC’s Escape to the Country and Cash in the Attic, also had a brief stint on another popular BBC drama.
In 2006, he made a guest appearance on Doctor Who, during David Tennant’s tenure as the Tenth Doctor.
In an episode titled Army of Ghosts, viewers would have seen Alistair playing himself as he presented a fictional programme, Ghostwatch.
The scene featured him reporting on supernatural events where ghosts were appearing in London and worldwide.
Doctor Who fans watched as the BBC star relayed information about the paranormal activities.
He was heard saying: “In today’s Ghostwatch, claims that some of the ghost’s are starting to talk and there seems to be a regular formation gathering around Westminster bridge. It’s almost like a military display.”

As he shared the news bulletin, the Time Lord, alongside companions Rose Tyler (Billie Piper) and Jackie (Camille Coduri), watched the announcement with confusion.
Other stars such as Trisha Goddard and Most Haunted’s Derek Acorah also made cameo appearances in the programme.
Recently, the property expert announced that new episodes of Escape to the Country, which he filmed in 2024, were airing, reports the Express.
