Doctor Who has Come To Bed Eyes!

By John Freeman on 6 October 2008

Doctor Who star David Tennant and The X Factor judge Cheryl Cole have been judged to have the best ‘come to bed eyes’ among UK celebrities, according to a survey by the Royal National Institute of Blind People.

Tennant beat out charmers Dermot O’Leary and Simon Cowell(!), while Cole was ahead of former Doctor Who companion Billie Piper and Kelly Brook.

The survey aims to promote Eye Health Week, which runs until 12 October. This year the College of Optometrists and the Royal National Institute of Blind People are calling on the general public to keep their eyes happy and healthy by getting regular eye tests and making lifestyle choices that will safeguard their sight.

• In 2006, the second season Doctor Who DVD box-sets pioneered new audio navigation technology to help blind or partially sighted people navigate around the disc menus without needing to see the screen. See news story on the BBC’s Doctor Who web site
