Lee Mack Hints at Series 11 Guest Role
Speaking on Radio 4 alongside Sharon D Clarke (who has already been announced to recur in the upcoming run), he said: “Not only am I excited about the idea of someone being in Doctor Who, I am also possibly gonna be in it as well. And I wasn’t supposed to say anything, but because [Sharon] said that, I thought, ‘Well I’m gonna say it then!’ Neither of us should have said it.”
He adds: “I am blink-and-you’ll-miss-it. It’s just a little thing. I’ve just been a fan all my life, so I just harassed them until they gave me a little part in it. I even sent Chris Chibnall a video of me getting out of my own TARDIS, which I own. With a Dalek, which I own as well! And I said ‘Come on!’
“It’s genuinely a true story – I’ve got a TARDIS at home, it’s not bigger on the inside. And I said ‘Come on, give me a part.’ And he said ‘Alright!’ So that’s what you need to do if you want a part in something. Just send a video to someone, you’ll get the part.
“Now I’m not gonna get the part because they’re gonna say ‘We told you not to say anything!’”
Sharon D Clarke also disclosed she will be playing companion Graham’s (Bradley Walsh) wife Mary: “I am a human, and Bradley Walsh is my husband, and he’s human, and I think that’s about as much as I can tell you.”
