Sanjeev Bhaskar to join cast of Doctor Who
“I’m thrilled to have made a small contribution to and now be part of the Doctor Who universe. Another dream box ticked! Sanjeev Bhaskar”
Popular comedian, actor and broadcaster Sanjeev Bhaskar is to join the cast of Doctor Who when the series returns to BBC One on 23 August.
Speaking about the role, Bhaskar said: “I’m thrilled to have made a small contribution to and now be part of the Doctor Who universe. Another dream box ticked!”
Steven Moffat, lead writer and Executive Producer, says: “I’m completely thrilled that Sanjeev Bhaskar is coming to the aid of the Doctor. The danger is never deadlier than in a finale episode, and the Time Lord is going to need all the help he can get!”
Filming is well underway for Series 8 of Doctor Who. Guest stars confirmed to join Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman in the new series include Michelle Gomez, Frank Skinner, Ben Miller, Tom Riley, Keeley Hawes and Hermione Norris.

July 13th, 2014 - 5:36pmI know it means they dont have to film in secret, but it’s like there will never be a surprise in Doctor Who again! I’m sure this is the first year that practically everybody in the new series has been announced before they’re in it. :l
