Doctor Who adds Neil Patrick Harris to cast for 60th anniversary

The How I Met Your Mother star will appear in the show next year, but who is he playing?

If they've got him to play a villain like he did Count Olaf in A Series of Unfortunate Events on Netflix, he'll fit right in to Dr Who.

Only ever seen him in HIMYM - amazing and The Matrix - dog toffee.

Just import him into Doctor Who as Dr Horrible, he'll fit right in.

Well my sister had a wild day on set. She wasn't supposed to tell me what happened but she was so excited she spilt the beans and told me who was there.

It was the Christmas special and she won't stop going on about it

Urgh... Seriously, even if there is a genuine need to have wheelchair bound characters in the TARDIS, do we need to see them gaining access via a ramp? Will there be a special sequence for it to deploy etc..

 

[PlacidCasual]

In the 70's and 80's the Tardis had nice flat floors anyway just go back to that.

It appears its mainly for Willfred Mott at least. Don't see where the issue lies honestly.

I'm going to guess it'll probably get about as much attention to it as the accommodations they made for things like the Daleks and K9 in the past, you'll probably miss it completely unless paying attention, although I can see it also basically being done as the Tardis just undergoing one of it's periodic changes and just happening to become easier to access (as Piadcasual says, as it was in the 70's and 80's). It could very easily be done as per the Tardis following in the implied tradition of it trying to accommodate it's current Doctor and crew's needs and personalities (IIRC it's tended to change with each Doctor anyway).

The article is very light on details and very much in the hearsay realm

How cool is this.

 

[Armageus]

I'd sooner watch an hour of that rather than recent episodes

Is this based on the subtlety that recent Who has dealt with everything related to any sort of politics? I would wager they will very much make a point of it and probably in as blunt and in your face way as possible. Happy to be wrong but recent who doesn't know how to do something like this without commenting on it to make sure you know.

The best Dr is back!

 

[steve5424]

That's subjective. He was good but not the best.

Also RTD has confirmed David is the 14th Doctor and Ncuti will be the 15th.

 

[robfosters]

Definitely one of the best regen scenes they’ve done

LMAO.

Yes, wheelchairs is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Sc-Fi isn't it? Travelling across the Galaxy, encountering God knows what, entering unknown systems, harsh environments, hostile alien races, terrible terrain...I know what we really need is some folks in wheelchairs with their very limited mobility and logistical issues - I mean hopefully all across the universe they'll be ramps right? - OG Trek really missed a trick here, old Roddenberry would be spinning in his grave if he knew Dr. Who had brought in wheechairs...

Yeah, come to think of it, it's amazing really that there weren't any wheelchair bound chaps involved in the D-DAY landings they'd have definitely brought a lot to the table...

 

[steve5424]

It's only for when Wilf is back. Chances are it won't be mentioned or seen on screen unless it's part of a joke.

Just need to hijack a dalek and hope it's one that can fly up steps, unless they have a sonic ramp

 

[Gerard]

Aww, sad to see Ace years later. You sorta have an image of some characters in your mind then when they show up you realise just how much time has passed.

 

[pecnarf]

well it going to be November 2023 until we see any new Dr who now, as the trailer states 2023 at the end and other article i read say it november 2023.

 

[Glanza]

Keeping away from any news sites about this meant the surprise at the end I did not see coming at all and I was

 

[jpaul]

just heard the bbc review ... is there then potential for a U-turn now that truss/whitaker is gone, could Tennant prevail over a renaissance as opposed to new guy,
Tennant future viewing figures could make the public preference clear.
