It has been revealed that James Corden will be reprising his role as Craig Owens in Series 6 of Doctor Who.
Following a string of unofficial reports, the BBC Doctor Who site has announced that the Gavin & Stacey actor, whose character was introduced in The Lodger last year, will be reunited with the Doctor in a forthcoming episode.
According to What’s On TV, he’ll be seen in Episode 12, however this is yet to be confirmed.
Corden has also tweeted about his return, writing: ”I get the new script for Doctor Who tomorrow. Looking forward to reading it. Start filming on thursday! Woo Hoo!”
The Fourth Doctor actor has updated his official website with a fitting dedication to his “wonderful companion”. “Of all the characters in Doctor Who there is no doubt that he was the most loved by the fans for his wonderful portrayal of the rather pompous Brigadier,” he explained. “Nick’s close friends simply adored him. There was a certain innocence in his personality that was utterly endearing…”
Meanwhile, the official BBC site has posted their own special tribute, for which showrunner Steven Moffat has written: “I only met Nicholas Courtney once and very briefly – but he was as kind and generous and funny as his reputation suggests. And on screen, his perfectly pitched performance as the Brigadier carved a very special place in the history of Doctor Who. Somewhere out there, the Doctor just got a little lonelier.”
BBC Worldwide have today confirmed that they are teaming up with independent game developer Three Rings to create the first ever online multiplayer Doctor Who game!
The game, entitled Worlds in Time, will launch later in the year, and will be free to play all around the world, with fans entering the TARDIS to be set a “pulse-pounding” challenge by the Doctor. Players will help him “defend civilized culture against infamous enemies”, exploring new worlds and encountering many alien races along the way.
Players will be able to socialise during the game, building up a global community of fans.
“Worlds in Time will be a free-to-play multiplayer online game that invites players to save the universe by using their wits to solve time-bending puzzles,” explained Robert Nashak, EVP of Digital Entertainment at BBC Worldwide. ”Three Rings is the ideal team for this groundbreaking creative partnership. Not only are they visionaries in the online gaming space, they are lifelong Doctor Who fans with a passion for delivering the level of quality that our players will expect and deserve.”
Daniel James, CEO Three Rings, added: “Our goal with Worlds in Time is to capture the imaginative spirit and depth of the series, whilst being fun and easy to play for all ages.”
