Anthony Head Keen on Who Return

Anthony Head, who played memorable Doctor Who villain “Mr Finch” way back in 2006 episode School Reunion, sounds like he is still keen to reprise the role.

“I don’t think the chip fat got him. I know him personally and I think he’s keen to meet the Doctor again…,” Head told the RadioTimes after being voted the readers’ favourite Doctor Who guest star.

Head added: “School Reunion was such a special episode in it’s own right, re-introducing Sarah Jane and K9 – it was a joy to film, and Mr Finch such a blast to play, with the sublime Mr Tennant as my nemesis. I remember James Hawes, our director, pitching the confrontation between Finch and the Doctor being played across the divide of the school swimming pool – such a great scene.

“The episode also gave me an opportunity to do my version of the Donald Sutherland screech from Invasion of the Body Snatchers – something I discovered I could do in my youth. Thank you, thank you, thank you, to all who voted for me.”
