Peter Capaldi’s former The Thick of It co-star Chris Addison has told Radio Times that he will be appearing in the Doctor Who series 8 finale Dark Water/Death in Heaven, written by Doctor Who showrunner and head writer Steven Moffat.
Addison told Radio Times:
“Would you like to be in Doctor Who?” is the easiest question I’ve ever been asked. It’s a 35-year dream come true. Seven-year old me would be going off his nut and I’m not far behind. It’s a great way to spend a couple of weeks, working with people I’ve always wanted to work with on a show I’ve loved all my life. My bucket list is quite a lot shorter now.
The two-part season finale, directed by Rachel Talalay, also stars Michelle Gomez, Jemma Redgrave, Ingrid Oliver, Samuel Anderson and Sanjeev Bhaskar.
