Who’s in A Good Man Goes To War?
The cast list for the mid-series finale, A Good Man Goes To War, has been released and while many have been previously confirmed or rumoured, it nevertheless makes for interesting reading.
As this includes a few returning characters, spoilerphobes may want to stop reading here…
First up, we’ve got the regular TARDIS trio and, of course, joining them again, River Song (Alex Kingston). Also confirmed to be returning is Captain Avery (Hugh Bonneville) and his son Toby (Oscar Lloyd) from The Curse of the Black Spot.
Monsters include the Cybermen (voiced again by Nicolas Briggs) and the Sontarans, represented by Commander Strax (Dan Starkey).
Madame Kovarian (Frances Barber) – otherwise known as Eye Patch Lady – is listed, along with a new character called Madame Vastra (Neve McIntosh). McIntosh previously played Silurian sisters Alaya and Restac in The Hungry Earth two-parter. Could Vastra be a Silurian as well?
Dorium (Simon Fisher Becker) – the blue-skinned trader from The Pandorica Opens – will appear once more (seen in the CBBC
Damian Kell will be playing Dominicus, who surely is a Roman. Danny Sapani is Colonel Manton, a member of UNIT perhaps?
We also have a pair of strange sounding characters called Fat One (Charlie Baker) and Thin One (Dan Johnston). And there is a character called Jenny (Catrin Stewart) who most likely isn’t a new incarnation of the Doctor’s daughter (previously played by Georgia Moffett), but you never know.
