[Dirk Gently]

I'm sorry. What are you on about?

[Milky Tears]

It's the thespian follow-up to Dude, Where's My Car? Set in Oxford.

[Raston]

So is he playing the Doctor again? Or The master? Or Claudius?

[SiHart]

So he's not at all typecast then?

Si xx

[Stuart Wallis]

Certainly not! he's playing Third Drag Artist. No typecasting there - what an outrageous suggestion!

[Larry]

well I think it's a fantastic coup..

[Dave Tudor]

And this is a fantastic coop:

[Pip Madeley]

Jacobi was great in Shalka, and after doing a Big Finish, I'm very pleased he's going to appear in proper Who.

[Dave Tudor]

Aplogies for my last post. Seriously, this is indeed excellent news - he's a brilliant actor, and, as Pip says, he was great in both 'Scream Of The Shalka' and 'Deadline', and it was really only a matter of time before he appeared in the series proper. Once again, it proves how big the show is, that they can get guest stars of this calibre.

Incidentally, will he be the first knight to appear in 'Doctor Who'?

[Stephen Morgan]

If I thought Jacobi was filming in Cardiff I'd be down there like a shot with my Claudius boxset and paperback.

[Pip Madeley]

Incidentally, will he be the first knight to appear in 'Doctor Who'?

No:

[Dave Tudor]

I just knew it would be either that or a 'Battlefield' reference...

[Pip Madeley]

Sir Ian, Knight of Jaffa Cakes and other non-biscuits.

[Si Hunt]

There was a night in "School Reunion" and another one in "Doctor Who and the Silurians".

Derek Jacobi? WTF? OMG11!11!! Bloody gay agenda! LOL!

Si.

"Well now," - Dear Del (to his friends which I count myself amongst) does like variety in his roles - from a Roman Emperor to a Vampire Count!!!

SO, I'm not surprised that having done two things already connected to "DW" that he's now going to be in the series proper. Can't wait for that episode, either!!!

[Dr Crewe]

DEL? he`s playing the MASTER who regens into JOHN SIMM? (of LIFE ON MARS fame! )

[Andy Frankham]

Of course, Jacobi's first link to Doctor Who was way back in 1973. Anyone guess the link?

[Matthew T]

He was the original choice to play Sarah Jane Smith.

[Simon R]

Ladies: Michelle COLLINS!

False icon and sometime Madonna-look-a-like. She's the sort but she should be Zoe Lucker.

[Doctor Vendetta]

The BBC would not confirm a newspaper report that he would play a character called The Professor when Doctor Who returns in the spring.

That wouldn't be Professor X, the Whoniverse's equivalent to Saturday prime-time family favourite Doctor Who, would it?

[Stuart Wallis]

Well there's Paul McCartney in The Chase, but he wasn't knighted at the time, so technically yes.

As for Derek's first links with the show, was he going to take over from either Pertwee or Roger Delgado?

[Avon]

"Well now," - Technically, this will be "DEREK's" third venture connected with "DW".

I can't wait for this episode in particular as, not only being a great Fan of "DEREK's" but, after seeing him some 100 plus times on stage (over a 10 year on-going period) - I also am very happy to count him as a personal friend!!!
