The press roll-out for Doctor Who series 5 has continued today, with the BBC releasing the names of the guest stars for the series, as well as who is writing and directing what. Good chunks of this was already known already, to be fair, but here it all is in one place.

The guest stars first, in alphabetical order:

James Corden
Tony Curran
Arthur Darvill
Iain Glen
Alex Kingston
Helen McCrory
Ian McNeice
Sophie Okonedo
Bill Paterson
Meera Syal
Nina Wadia

Then the writers:

Steven Moffat (ep 1, 2, 4, 5, 12, 13)
Mark Gatiss (ep 3)
Toby Whithouse (ep 6)
Simon Nye (ep 7)
Chris Chibnall (ep 8, 9)
Richard Curtis (ep 10)
Gareth Roberts (ep 11)

(It's been suggested to us that Mr Moffat's first two-parter is a particularly impressive piece of work, by the way. We can't vouch for that, but don't really doubt it either)

Finally, the directors:

Adam Smith (ep 1, 4, 5)
Andrew Gunn (ep 2, 3)
Jonny Campbell (ep 6, 10)
Catherine Morshead (ep 7, 11)
Ashley Way (ep 8, 9)
Toby Haynes (ep 12, 13)

That's a pretty clean sweep of directing talent in there too, you might have noticed.

Doctor Who returns on April 3rd. Our spoiler-free review of episode one is here.
