Sometimes I think about how folks who only watch Doctor Who and not much else from British TV—don’t realize how often the show turns into a game of “OMG, it’s [actor] from [other British show]!”
#This post was inspired because I saw a clip of a Doctor Who sketch from the The Lenny Henry Show#and my first thought was “OMG is that Chef from Chef! ???”#This is not just a DW phenomenon but it happens alot#Like I still call that guy from the Titanic episode “The guy who played Richard in Keeping up Appearances”#Being a Vicar of Dibley fan AND a 12 fan is a treat I'll tell you#He is scrumptious in the two episodes he's in#I can't take John Lumic seriously because I just see Owen (also from Vicar of Dibley)#I still can't believe that both Simon Pegg AND Nick Frost were in the show but like 10 season apart#it's that guy from that thing#doctor who#bbc#british television#british actors#doctor who fandom#dw meta#uk media#actor bingo#bbc multiverse#shared universe of british tv#nu who#new who#dr who#doccywho#doccy who#my post#text post#polarity posts
