Christmas-SpecialThe Doctor Who Christmas Special is currently filming and the BBC confirming the guest stars who will be appearing in the festive episode.

The show’s official Facebook page has released a shot of three on-set chairs bearing the names Nathan McMullen, Nick Frost and Michael Troughton. The official release followed shortly after:

Nick Frost, actor and screen writer, has starred in numerous hit film and television roles, including Spaced, The World’s End, Shaun of The Dead, Hot Fuzz, Cuban Fury and Paul, which he also wrote. Nick comments: “I’m so thrilled to have been asked to guest in the Doctor Who Christmas special, I’m such a fan of the show. The read-through was very difficult for me; I wanted to keep stuffing my fingers into my ears and scream “No spoilers!” Every day on set I’ve had to silence my internal fan boy squeals!”

Michael Troughton (Breathless, The New Statesman), who has recently returned to acting, will follow in his father’s footsteps by appearing in Doctor Who. His father, Patrick Troughton, played the second incarnation of the Doctor. McMullen is an alumnus of Misfits and Casualty.

They will be joined by Natalie Gumede (Coronation Street, Ideal, Strictly Come Dancing) and Faye Marsay (Pride, The White Queen, Fresh Meat).

Steven Moffat, lead writer and executive producer, says: “Frost at Christmas – it just makes sense! I worked with Nick on the Tintin movie many years ago and it’s a real pleasure to lure him back to television for a ride on the TARDIS.”

Although there is still no confirmation whether Jenna Coleman will be returning to Doctor Who for series 9, she will definitely be in the special .
