The nearest I have been to the TARDIS was when I played the Caribbean Doctor in the Lenny Henry Show, so as a life-long (hiding behind the sofa type) Doctor Who fan, this is a very special moment for me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Series Showrunner Chris Chibnall said, &#8220;Doctor Who is coming back with a bang &#8211; with two great British icons in major roles. One of the great joys of Doctor Who is getting to work with actors from your wish list.
