Doctor Who - Attack of the Graske
11/12/2005 . Source: Jessica Martin 
After the credits roll on Doctor Who's first Christmas special, The Christmas Invasion, on the BBC, viewers will be given an opportunity for a further adventure with the Doctor. Buy Doctor Who in the USA - or Buy Doctor Who in the UK  By pressing the red button they have the chance to become the Doctor's companion in an interactive mission of their own. Attack of the Graske is a mix of live action, special effects (from The Mill) and individual tasks.
Starring David Tennant as the tenth Time Lord, with Jimmy Vee as The Graske, Attack of the Graske features a new threat - an alien species intent on taking over the Earth.
In a series of challenges the viewer will be tested on all the skills necessary to keep the Universe safe - you'll even have a chance to fly the TARDIS.
One of its producers, Sophie Fante, told SFcrowsnest: "Attack of the Graske gives the viewer the unique opportunity to immerse themselves fully in the world of Doctor Who. We aimed to make the challenge with the same scope and feel of the main series and, in Attack of The Graske, the viewer finds themselves not only flying the TARDIS with the Doctor but fighting the Graske on the planet Griffoth and hunting him out in Victorian London. Filming was great fun because of the variety of locations within a relatively short shoot. The high point was creating an authentic Dickensian Christmas scene, complete with snow, in a small corner of Cardiff."
Through a series of tests using the arrow keys on their digital remote control, viewers will be tested on observation, dexterity, memory and bravery as the epic story unfolds across time and space. Participants will travel into the past and to a strange new world, battling a determined and evil foe. Throughout the adventure, the Doctor will be on hand to give advice, encouragement, and even step in when things go wrong. But don't expect any favours - he only takes the best.
And don't forget, Doctor Who - The Christmas Invasion is on Christmas Day 2005 at 7.00pm on BBC One.
