Radio Times has reported that Alan Cumming will appear in Series 11 of Doctor Who.
Cumming is to play King James I. The actor confirmed this on Will Young and Chris Sweeney’s podcast Homo Sapiens.
Cumming is an actor, singer, writer, producer and director.
He has been in countless television, movie and theatre productions, including Goldeneye, X2, Spy Kids, Tin Man and many more.
Cumming has been quoted as saying:
“I’m James I. So I’m kind of like, you know, a kind of dandy, foppy, coward who kind of comes alright in the end. And they said he might come back.”
Asked if he was playing a villain, Cumming replied in the affirmative, adding that he was “like, a nice baddie.
The DWCA is sad to report on the passing of Peter Miles.
Miles is probably best known to fans as Nyder, Davros’ henchman. He played this role in the classic series Fourth Doctor story Genesis of the Daleks.
He had also previously been in the Third Doctor stories – Doctor Who and the Silurians and Invasion of the Dinosaurs.
Miles also returned to the role of Nyder in Big Finish’s range of I, Davros audios.
In addition to Doctor Who, he was also in Blake’s 7 and Z Cars.
Miles was 89.

This year, all DWCA local groups are invited to take part in the event at a time and location convenient to them. Picnics are currently confirmed for the following:
