Doctor Who The End Of Time cast list confirmed: with surprises in store!

Spoilers! The full cast list for Doctor Who: The End Of Time has appeared, and it’s got a surprise or two in it too…

Published on Dec 2, 2009

 

SERIOUSLY: SOME SMALL-TO-MIDDLING SPOILERS ARE COMING UP. FINAL WARNING!

The full cast listing for the forthcoming Doctor Who Christmas specials, The End Of Time Parts One and Two, has now been fully uploaded to IMDB, and it’s both and confirmed and revealed a few bits of casting information for the episodes.

David Tennant and Bernard Cribbins are taking centre stage for the two parter. But on top of them, among amongst the cast listing for part one are:

John Barrowman (Captain Jack)
Brian Cox (The Elder of the Ood)
Timothy Dalton (The Narrator)
Lachele Carl (Trinity Wells)
Jessica Hynes (Verity Newman)
David Harewood (Joshua Naismith)
Jacqueline King (Sylvia Noble)
Alexandra Moen (Lucy Saxon)
Sylvia Seymour (Miss Trefusis)
Catherine Tate (Donna Noble)
Russell Tovey (Midshipman Frame)
John Simm (The Master)
Jimmy Vee (Monster)
June Whitfield (Minnie Hopper)
Paul Kasey (Ood Sigma)
Silas Carson (Ood voice)


Karl Collins, Claire Bloom, Lawry Lewin, Sinead Keenan and Barry Howard (from Hi-De-Hi!) are all listed too, but in unnamed parts.

Bonus points to everyone who got Brian Cox’s involvement on the basis of his voiceover of the last trailer to The End Of Time. Just how Midshipman Frame fits into everything is intriguing, especially as he’s listed as appearing in both parts of the specials.

Then we look at the additions to the cast for part two:

Roger Bailey (Time Lord)
Teresa Banham (Governor)
Brid Brennan (Visionary)
Camille Caduri (Jackie Tyler)
Tommy Knight (Luke Smith)
Billie Piper (Rose Tyler)
Elisabeth Sladen (Sarah Jane Smith)
Matt Smith (The Doctor)
Penelope Wilton (Harriet Jones)

Wait? Harriet Jones? We never actually saw her die did we? The camera cut away at the key moment as the Daleks shot?

Our guess is that she’s going to appear in some flashback moment, but wouldn’t it be great if she had something to do with the Time Lords all along? Or was one?

Note that there’s at least one more Time Lord in the cast now, too, on top of The Master and the Doctor. Plus, it’s being widely assumed that Timothy Dalton is a Time Lord too. Should be interesting! It also seems that we will get a regeneration sequence, given that Mr Smith is in the cast list.

Most of the cast from part one is replicated in part two, although Brian Cox appears to be missing.

Add your own thoughts and speculation below…!

With thanks to Paul Smith

You do realise that anyone can put up information in IMDB right? It's no more a realiable source of information that Wikipedia.

Visionary and Governor? Could these be Time Lord names just like Doctor and Master are? Just a thought...

@stcoop: Yes, appreciate that, so we've been watching this for some time. IMDB though also get complete listings from official sources too, and we've avoided posting until now to be on the safe side.

Jimmy Vee (Monster), played Bannakaffalatta. Hmmmmm... I'm hoping there's not too many flashbacks and dreams and it ends up like Lost meets Dallas...

In your face those who kept saying it was Timothy Dalton. Am glad this is the last we will see of Rose. Billie and her big teeth need to leave DW for good.

Why does Rose keep coming back? She was absolutely awful last time.

Rose keeps coming back because she's an awesome character, and the Doctor's love interest! The more she comes back the better.

Thank god Russell is leaving Dr Who. He just can't stop recycling characters again and again. Who the hell needs Captain Jack or Rose again?

No Claire Bloom?

scratch that, just re-read it. Still never trust IMDB until after broadcast. I recall some wag posting an entry for Norman Lovett as Davros in "Parting of the Ways".

Too many characters in one story. I agreed with above. As much good as Russel T Davies has done for Doctor Who, I look forword to the next era.

the soapy content of Dr Who is what I hate. Dr Who feels dumbed down to me. The Moff era looks and feels more like proper Who to me. I for one can't wait for the regeneration to come.

I stridently pooh-poohed the idea that Brian Cox was going to make an appearance. I consider those words eaten.

What a surprise, IMDB user added content inaccuracy strikes again.
