Doctor Who Casting & Writer News

The BBC has announced the second bit of casting news for the new season of Doctor Who, along with the first four writers. Matt Lucas will reprise his role as Nardole from the Christmas special as a series regular. Stephanie Hyam will guest star as an unspecified role. Steven Moffat will write the first episode (directed by Lawrence Gough); Frank Cottrell-Boyce will write the second. Sarah Dollard and Mike Bartlett will write for the second filming block (which is not necessarily the second to air). Filming starts next Monday. Matt Lucas commented,

I’m chuffed to bits that Nardole is returning to the TARDIS for some more adventures. I loved acting with Peter and I’m excited to work with Pearl.

Steven Moffat said,

Delighted and slightly amazed to be welcoming Matt Lucas back on to the TARDIS - and this time it’s not just for Christmas, he’s sticking around. One of the greatest comedy talents on planet Earth is being unleashed on all of time and space.

2015 DW Christmas Special Synopsis

The BBC has released the synopsis for the upcoming Christmas special. The episode will star Greg Davies as King Hydroflax and Matt Lucas as Nardole.

It’s Christmas Day on a remote human colony and the Doctor is hiding from carols and comedy antlers. But when the Time Lord’s help is requested he finds himself recruited into River Song’s squad and hurled into a fast and frantic chase across the galaxy! King Hydroflax is furious and his giant robot bodyguard is out-of-control and coming for them all! Will Nardole survive? And when will River work out who the Doctor is?

All will be revealed on a starliner full of galactic super-villains and at a destination the Doctor has been avoiding for a very long time…
