Doctor Who: new series 7 casting news
Three new names have been added to the guest cast for Doctor Who's seventh series...
Courtesy of tomorrow's edition of Doctor Who Magazine comes news of three guest cast members appearing opposite Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman in series 7. Those names? Jessica Raine, David Warner, and Liam Cunningham.
Raine, who was most recently seen as lead Jenny Lee in BBC drama Call The Midwife, will be popping up alongside Mission: Impossible II and Desperate Housewives' Dougray Scott in the Neil Cross-penned episode, which has already been filmed. Cross has migrated to Who from Luther and Spooks, and this episode marks his debut on the show.
David Warner, who's been in all sort of geek fare over the years from Tron to Twin Peaks, The Outer Limits, and more than one iteration of Star Trek, is to co-star with Game of Thrones' Liam Cunningham in Mark Gatiss' historical episode, the script for which Blogtor Who informs us has been teased to include the words "meat", "klaxon" and "Vienna". There, now with those three words to go on, how can we complain that Who's creators never reveal anything?

Looking forward to seeing them.
Always thought David Warner would have made a great job playing the Master.
You know, now you've said that, it sounds like the most fantastic idea ever. He's always such a wonderful villain, he'd make a great Master.
Can't wait to see the new series and definitely can't wait for the new assistant. As much as I like Amy and Rory (mainly Rory) I think the dynamic is a bit played out.
Another credit for David Warner - he's actually played the Doctor himself, twice in Big Finish audios (starring alongside Nic Courtney as the Brig, Mark Gatiss as the Master and a certain Mr. David Tennant as the Brig's replacement at UNIT)
But I love Amy and Rory, my personal favorites! But, I must admit, Matt Smith's new Doctor outfit is pretty sweet.
