Reece Shearsmith is coming to Doctor Who series 9 in a story written by his League of Gentlemen co-star Mark Gatiss.

Shearsmith previously played Patrick Troughton in An Adventure in Space and Time, and returns to Cardiff for a part in an adventure directed by Justin Molotnikov and produced by Nikki Wilson.

“I am absolutely thrilled to be filming Doctor Who as Mark Gatiss has written a fantastic role for me in a very scary episode,” he said. “It has been so exciting to be part of a very singular episode – which, I can say with authority will be unlike any previous episode of Doctor Who. It’s a joy to play a part in the show – certainly a badge of honour.”

“I’m delighted to be writing again for Peter and Jenna’s brilliant TARDIS team and very excited about this particular story,” Gatiss said. “It’s been brewing in the dark recesses of my mind for a while now! I’m also chuffed to bits to finally welcome my old friend Reece Shearsmith onto the show. He’s been badgering me for ten years!”

Reece will be joined by Elaine Tan (Eastenders, Entourage), Neet Mohan (All in Good Time, Desert Dancer), Bethany Black (Cucumber, Banana) and Paul Courtenay Hyu (Dalziel and Pascoe, Coronation Street).
