Doctor Who Specials Add A Comedian

David Tennant‘s two - partDoctor Whoswansong just added another roll member , as comedianLawry Lewinhas signed on to play a office . As with most thing to do with these special , very petty is recognise for sure , but the initial hearsay suggest he ’s land far more than a bit part .

British comedy situation Chortle broke the news that Lewin has been redact in the specials . This is his first dramatic role , after come out in the clowning shows Touch Me I ’m Karen Taylor and The Life And Times Of Vivienne Vyle . He also had a bit role in the second serial publication of Extras .

Lewin ’s hiring is just the latest example of Doctor Who ’s proud custom of casting comedians in more dramatic roles , which has previously included Peter Kay in Love & Monsters , Lee Evans in Planet of the Dead , and , perhaps most infamously , Ken Dodd in Delta and the Bannermen . Of course , the better example of this is the third Doctor of the Church himself , as Jon Pertwee was primarily a comical thespian and light entertainer before taking on the part .

There ’s not a lot to go on when it descend to the particular of Lewin ’s role . Chortle ’s rootage claim his fictional character is “ geeky ” and “ a bit of a comedy turn ” , neither of which is peculiarly shameful . More interesting is this choice morsel :

“ … his fibre plays a pivotal role in the climactic sequence of events leading to David Tennant ’s departure . ”

So , patently the 10th Doctor ’s final story might all come down to an dark comedian undertake his first dramatic part . Well , it piddle as much sense as any other rumour I ’ve heard about these special .
