Enter Dusty Velvet, whose husband has been “taken” for service in the national armed forces. The chances of him surviving are slim because wars have broken out all over Iraq & Iran and the only way to get him back is to “buy” him back from the military for $500,000. A new reality “game show” is on the air offering $1M for the contestant who can last sixty days in a solitary confinement chamber with nothing but a bed, table and toilet.

A video camera watches each of the contestants 24/7 and it is the hottest show on television. Dusty Velvet is chosen as a contestant and is slowly becoming the newest “American Idol” for her antics inside the chamber. However, after a long period in darkness and isolation, things suddenly take a horrid turn for the worse in this tale from the darker side of reality.

Some time later Sir Bartholomew Strange, an eminent doctor and friend of Cartwright, also dies of poisoning at a dinner party he is giving miles away.

There appears to be no link between the two deaths but Poirot, assisted by Cartwright, offers to help Superintendent Crossfield in the investigation and discovers that a mysterious butler with a tattoo on his wrist was hired for the night and appeared to share a joke with the dead doctor.

This man has now vanished and would seem to the killer. A third death, that of a sanatorium patient who has written to Poirot, would appear to link to the doctor’s murder and there is certainly a secret which somebody will go to any lengths to conceal – but who would gain from the death of a harmless old vicar?

Set in an apocalyptic medieval world, “Death” details the story of a band of brothers whose quest is to hunt down a necromancer against the backdrop of the first outbreak of bubonic plague in England.

Kimberley has said there is no contact with the BBC Doctor Who crew, although some people may have hinted at it.

I just saw on Digitalspy

“Absolutely nothing [is happening with Doctor Who],” she told Metro. “They film in my home town so it would be good from a convenience point of view. I haven’t heard anything – just what I’ve read in the papers.”

She added: “I haven’t even auditioned.”

I think it’s a real shame, ‘who’ needs more welsh in it

Speaking of how her  friends handle her fame?

I think they’re secretly proud and find it quite funny whenever I appear in a magazine or newspaper. As for seeing me in Metro – I remember reading Metro every morning while we walked to drama school. For one of us to be the subject of a 60 Second Interview is quite a coup.
