And another Troughton!
Don't know McMullen but the other two are enough to get me smiling - especially Nick Frost who is just brilliant in everything he's ever done. (re-watched World's End last night and Frost even makes a convincing tough guy - hilarious but perfectly filmed fight scenes)

Duty free? How'd you know?
Of the main six it's just him and Pegg so far, isn't it? Hopefully they'll put Frost to better use than Smiley...

And Michael Smiley as Tyres.
Plus Bill Bailey and Reece Shearsmith both had recurring roles in Spaced.

I'd love Reece Shearsmith to be in Doctor Who. (Yes, I know he was in An Adventure etc, but it's not quite the same thing).
But the news about Nick Frost is just brilliant. He's definitely on my List.

Oddly enough, so did the kids that Clara used to look after and which seem to have vanished from the face of the Earth.

I don't know what would make you think that? Doctor Who Christmas special has been a Christmas day Staple for 9 years now. With no suggestion of a change, what makes you think they'd move it?

If you treat the main six as
Simon Pegg
Jessica Hynes
Nick Frost
Julia Deakin
Mark Heap
Katy Carmichael
With the announcement about Nick Frost only the top three will have appeared on Doctor Who although Julia Deakin did appear in a Big Finish audio

I'm the world's biggest idiot. Laugh at me. Somehow I managed to miss the one with the most significant role. Who was really good in it. In two of my favourite episodes. Plus her cameo in one of my least favourite episodes.

You are forgiven, as she her character was very different from that of Daisy Steiner. She's a fantastic actress.

A good writer as well, she co-wrote Spaced with Simon Pegg and created her own sitcom Up The Women
