Rakhee Thakrar in the TARDIS?
I would be cool with this rumour, having cast here in one of my DWAITAS games.
Meanwhile, Peter Capaldi has been speaking about the show wandering the BBC One schedule. I concur. Down with this sort of thing.

The Aliens on e4
A new British genre series, The Aliens is... well, it’s District 9 with humanoids, really. A customs and immigration officer on the wall keeping refugee aliens out of human civilisation. As metaphors go its pretty familiar, and the alien ghetto has a similar run-down look. The aliens being humanoid gives it a less them-and-us initial setup, and being a series it individualises more aliens.
Clara Rockmore
Another lovely interactive Google Doodle for the, er, 105th birthday of Clara Rockmore, inventor of the Theremin. An example of her work shows how it is supposed to sound before it became the instrument of choice for alien invasions in the 1950s. It remains a reminder of the unseen effect we can have on the world.
