It’s been confirmed that Grammy award-winning British singer-songwriter Foxes will not only have her music feature in the BBC sci-fi show but she’s also set to make an appearance and her acting debut alongside Capaldi’s Doctor and his companion Clara Oswald played by Jenna Coleman.
Foxes appearance on the show came about after members of the production attended a show she was performing and the group met afterwards. Speaking about meeting the team she said “I can’t believe I’m actually going to be in an episode of Doctor Who! Especially as it all came about from a chance meeting. I was playing a gig and got chatting to the show’s production team who’d been watching my performance. I was telling them how much I loved Doctor Who and next thing they invited me to be on it. I couldn’t think of a better place to make my acting debut than on one of the UK’s most iconic shows!”
She’s not the only who’ll be joining the Doctor this series with special guests Frank Skinner, Ben Miller, Tom Riley, Keeley Hawes and Hermione Norris all confirmed to feature throughout.
Steven Moffat also spoke about the casting, “We are completely thrilled that the amazingly talented Foxes is joining us on board … well, you’ll see. Let’s just say, the Doctor is finally catching up on his phone calls.“
