John Simm on Whether He’d Return Again Opposite the 13th Doctor
Speaking in DWM (#514), he said: “You know what, I don’t know. I mean, I wouldn’t have thought in a million years that I’d be back [in 2017], yet here I am talking about it, so never say never.”
“So you never know. This thing called Doctor Who is a machine that just sort of goes on its own. It’s got its own rules. And if they want you back, then great. I would definitely think about it.”
He adds: “Will they ask? I doubt it. But I don’t know. I mean, I’m very, very lucky to have worked with two Doctors. Two brilliant, brilliant actors. So if not, I will count myself blessed to have been asked back; to have played him these two times. That’s wonderful. And we shall see. Who knows? Yeah, never say never. That’s very true.”
Simm also admitted he wasn’t thrilled his Series 10 return was announced before his reveal: “I was a bit disappointed when they let it out that I was coming back. Because the audience is obviously going to guess that [Razor’s] me, aren’t they?”
