Peter Capaldi is far from the only Doctor Who actor to appear in multiple roles. Mark talks us through the many others to have done so...
It's been just over a year since the BBC announced that Peter Capaldi would play the Twelfth Doctor. There were rumblings of his casting in the week before the announcement was made, to the point where bookies stopped taking bets on it.
We've spent the last twelve months in anticipation of what seems like dream casting for the Time Lord, but some of us were a little sceptical that an actor of his profile and standing would take the role until it was actually announced, but “he's been in it before” was not atop the list of reasons why we thought it was too good to be true.
Over the course of 50 years, Doctor Who has inevitably reused actors as different characters- there are...

The Weinstein Company has released the trailer for Unfinished Song with Terrence Stamp and Vanessa Redgrave singing unconventional songs for their age like Salt-n-Pepa’s good old practice-safe-sex song ‘Let’s Talk About Sex’.
Previously titled Song for Marion, the feel-good drama debuted to little fanfare at Tiff back in September.
Gemma Arterton plays the upbeat music teacher who runs the local choir that doesn’t seem quite up my alley.
The London-set comedic drama about grumpy pensioner Arthur (Stamp) who is reluctantly inspired by his beloved wife Marion (Redgrave) to join a highly unconventional local choir is directed by Paul Andrew Williams (London to Brighton) from his own script.
Christopher Eccleston also stars as Arthur’s estranged son James along with a supporting cast that includes Anne Reid, Calita Rainford, Alan Ruscoe and Ram John Holder.
The film will hit theaters on February 8th, 2013.

George Lucas’ first Star Wars prequel has been widely criticised over the years, but does The Phantom Menace really deserve it? Here’s James’ defence of Episode One...
The late 1990s were a joyous time for Star Wars fans. The release date of The Phantom Menace was drawing ever closer, and anticipation for it was at an all time high. Fans were buying cinema tickets, watching the trailer for film in coming attractions, and then leaving before the film they'd paid to see began.
The big day finally came and the reaction was lukewarm at best. The reviews from critics were something of a mixed bag. American critic Roger Ebert gave it four out of five stars. Empire magazine was less favourable, giving it only three stars. The public, however, were far less forgiving. The Phantom Menace has been branded (among other things) 'a disgrace to Star Wars', 'unforgivably bad',...

The release of BBC One's Autumn schedule highlights has brought with it the first close-ups of the horrific monster in the next Doctor Who adventure, The Waters of Mars. Isn't it horrific?! Played by Alan Ruscoe, "Andy Stone" is the name of the character that appears to have been taken over by sentient water. It's a frightening concept, but one which follows that of previous Doctor Who monsters - sentient suns, shop mannequins, etc. Helpfully the BBC Press Office have...

David Tennant returns to his Time Lord role in The Waters Of Mars, the second of four Doctor Who specials being screened on BBC One this year.
Announcing its autumn season, the BBC confirmed Tennant would be joined by "his cleverest and most strong-minded companion yet", Adelaide, played by acclaimed British actress Lindsay Duncan.
In the storyline for the special, Adelaide is head of the Mars Base and doesn't take kindly to an uninvited appearance by The Doctor.
Peter O'Brien, star of Neighbours, Flying Doctors and Casualty, guest stars as Ed, Adelaide's second in command.
The Waters Of Mars is written by Russell T Davies and Phil Ford and is directed by Graeme Harper.
Two more specials will follow, the second featuring Tennant's Time Lord dying and regenerating into 11th Doctor Matt Smith.
