Chris Addison to star in ‘Doctor Who’ series 8

LONDON, Aug 21:  Actor Chris Addison is set to appear in the upcoming eighth series of sci-fi series ‘Doctor Who’.
The comedian previously appeared alongside new Doctor Peter Capaldi in Armando Iannucci’s political comedy ‘The Thick of It’ and the big-screen adaptation ‘In the Loop’, reported Digital Spy.
Addison, who was briefly tipped as a possible contender to play the Time Lord last year, will star in the two-part series finale ‘Dark Water’/’Death in Heaven’, written by Steven Moffat.
“It’s a 35-year dream come true – 7-year old me would be going off his nut and I’m not far behind. It’s a great way to spend a couple of weeks, working with people I’ve always wanted to work with on a show I’ve loved all my life. My bucket list is quite a lot shorter now,” Addison said. (PTI)
