Everything You Need To Know About Doctor Who Series 9

James Lomond is a writer at Kasterborous Doctor Who News and Reviews - All the latest Doctor Who news and reviews with our weekly podKast, features and interviews, and a long-running forum.

Welcome, Kasterborite! You’re here… THIS is where we will be amassing every ounce of data we can squeeze out of the interweb on Capaldi’s second hurrah, Doctor Who Series 9.

Over the weeks and months we will be gradually adding to this repository to create the closest thing to a crystal ball. Feel free to muse, hypothesise and fantasize (steady), about the immediate future of Who.

Our sources will be linked to below but of course we cannot guarantee the veracity of what is announced. Plans change and rumors abound – we will endeavour to report ONLY what is said/ written and indicate who said/ wrote it.

Needless to say there will be SPOILERS and you venture below at your peril. You may disagree with the thoughts of your Komrades but please remember the forum rules on conduct. Now, if that’s all clear, park your time capsule, turn on the HADS and feast your eyes on Series 9 info-crumpets below…

Paul Kaye: Prentis

According to doctorwhotv, Actor/ Comedian Paul Kaye will be playing a character called “Prentis” in a Block One episode.

Known for recent work in Ripper Street and a saucy turn as Thoros of Myr in Game of Thrones. Kaye does a natty line in sinister, quirky and unpredictable types. If you caught the Sunday Show back in the late 90s you might have caught his celebrity-baiting comic creation Dennis Pennis. Parental ADVISORY.
