    I've scanned the thread and sorry if I missed it posted, but Matt Smith was in a BBC drama Bert and Dickie last year. It was about the skulls rowing duo that won gold for GB in the 1948 London Olympics.

    David Tennant is to play an American version of his Character in the U.S remake of Broadchurch.


    Could be Tennants big break in the States (or the remake could of course flop).

    All the U.S versions of U.K shows suck like Torchwood, The Inbetweeners, Skins, Shameless just to name a few

    Three further appearances of Anneke Wills:

    She was in a couple of episodes of The Strange World of Gurney Slade (1960 - worth watching in itself - also contains Edwin Richfield*).

    She also appears in the film Some People (1962 semi-promotional film for the DoE award - David Andrews turns in a good performance as a disaffected teenager, otherwise, it's all a bit ho-hum).

    In both of the above, she is credited as "Annika Wills".

    As "Anneke Wills", she was regular character Evelyn McClaine in all 16 episodes of Strange Report (1968), something so accomplished that I wonder why I don't like it more.

    *Edwin Richfield, of course, played Clive in the 1969 television version of Alan Garner's The Owl Service.

    Fascinating as all this is, are we not needlessly duplicating work already done elsewhere (IMDb, for example)? Or is the point of this to chronicle the reactions of Doctor Who fans to particular appearances in other dramas of familiar faces?

    I reckon murder-mystery in a small town with a lead detective who's damaged and trying to make amends will translate better than character-led programmes like the last three you mentioned. It might have a chance!

    Well the initial point of the thread was just as a catch all for the "Tennant, Smith, Eccleston, Piper etc" is in New Show threads that appeared occasionally.


    But if people want to pick random actors from the last 50 years of DW and just list everything they have been in that's up to them :D

    With Catherine having been a regular in The Office, Barrowman in Arrow, Freema in The Carrie Diaries and Billie in Penny Dreadful - it's about time the Doctor himself joined his companions across the pond.

    Wendy padbury was gang-raped in 'blood on satan's claw'....:eek:

    Strictly speaking, I believe her character was raped by only one character, while a number of other characters looked on. Anthony Ainley also appears in this film.

    Wendy Padbury also appeared in the Southern Television series Freewheelers from 1971 onwards. Series Six (1971) is available on DVD from Renown Productions Ltd, and, if you like seeing Wendy tied up or stripping to her bikini, you're in for a treat. There are a lot of other Doctor Who actors in this series: Ronald Leigh-Hunt, Jerome Willis, Richard Shaw, though few, if any, of these are tied up or strip to their swimsuits.

    Celia Imrie - Miss Kizlet from TBOSJ was of course Miss Babs in Acorn Antiques and many other Victoria Wood shows. She was also in Ab Fab, the original Upstairs Downstairs, Bergerac and even Star Wars Episode 1 (Lindsay Duncan was in that too - well her voice was).

    One of my all time favourites ( the original)

    Mine too! 'Where did we go right?!' :D

    The BBC's 'The History of Tom Jones: A Foundling' from 1997 includes Peter Capaldi and Sylvester McCoy, along with: Camille Coduri (Jackie Tyler), Lindsay Duncan (Adelaide), Ron Cook (Magpie), Celia Imrie (Miss Kizlet), Roger Lloyd-Pack (Lumic), June Whitfield (Minnie) and Alexei Sayle (DJ). It's well worth a watch IMO. :)

    I posted that list in June last year, before the dogs programme was commissioned!.

    He has also done Pressure Pad for BBC1 since then (which has been recommissioned)

    and he is also currently filming a programme about a pet hospital for Channel 4

    After all these years, I see more 'Ecclestone' than 'Eccleston'.

    Georgia Moffett often gets given 'Moffat'.

    Steven Moffat gets hit twice as hard with 'Stephen' and 'Moffett', or 'Moffatt' or some other variation I can't even imagine.

    I've seen Alex 'Kingstone' a few times.

    I've already seen a worrying number of 'Cabaldi' quotes.

    :p

    'Cabaldi' - isn't that the "religion" Madonna follows or is it the game they play in India, tag while holding your breath.

    John Hurt has been cast in Guillermo Del Toro's The Strain.


    So not the ongoing 12th Doctor then ;)

    I'd totally forgotten that John Hurt had been originally cast as Setrakian in The Strain.

    I guess his ill health forced him to drop out with another DW actor David Bradley then taking the role.

    Patrick Troughton was in the ITC drama Interpol Calling, which ran for two series between 1959 and 1960.

    This is a clip of him in that:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7iY1Hmz-j8

    It is available now on DVD through the company Network DVD, which also released shows such as Robin of Sherwood, Upstairs Downstairs and 400 episodes of Coronation Street between 1960 and 2009.

    :)

    Great to see Pat in something other than Doctor Who and The Omen. :)

    Shame that the 1950s Robin Hood starring Patrick doesn't survive, only for one 30 second clip. :(

    Yes! I'd forgotten about that. :D That also had Keeley Hawes in it, didn't it? I vaguely remember seeing that on YouTube about 5-6 years ago, then completely forgot about it.

    Keeley played the hotel's receptionist, if my memory serves me well. Shame Hotel! isn't on DVD. :( I would have a good ol' laugh seeing that again. :D

    Capaldi was also in Neil Gaiman's BBC mini-series Neverwhere around 1996.

    Christopher Eccleston was in The Second Coming for ITV in 2003, also featuring Midnight's Lesley Sharp. I've got that on DVD. It's about Eccleston's character Stephen Baxter who is convinced he is the modern day version of Jesus.
