BBC One's Tonight's The Night is offering Doctor Who fans the chance to win a role as an alien, it has been announced.

A competition will be run for one viewer to take part in a specially-written scene which is to be shot on the set of the Tardis.

Speaking about the competition, Tonight's The Night star John Barrowman said: "This is a fantastic opportunity and I can't wait to see the winner experience performing on the set of Doctor Who."

Viewers over 18 are invited to submit an application featuring a photograph of them in their home-made alien costume, along with information about their alien, such as where it is from and its characteristics.

A group of 50 applicants will then be selected to meet a panel including John Barrowman and Doctor Who casting director Andy Pyror.

The scene will be broadcast in the final episode of Tonight's The Night later this spring.
