Doctor Who 1204 Guest Stars

Guest stars in this episode are Goran Visnjic, Robert Glenister and Anjli Mohindra.

Robert Glenister

After previously starring in Doctor Who over three decades ago, Robert Glenister is no stranger to the TARDIS and as he takes on a new character, it’s safe to say emotions will be charged as he meets the Doctor and her friends…

Robert Glenister says: “I first appeared in Doctor Who in The Caves of Androzani at the tender age of 24 in 1984. Thirty five years later I got to be in it again at the not so tender age of nearly 60. How time flies!”

Goran Visnjic

Making his Doctor Who debut, Goran Visnjic has plenty of experience around doctors after playing Luka Kova on the television series ER, but how will he fare when he comes face to face with the Time Lord?

Speaking ahead of his debut Doctor Who appearance, Goran Visnjic, says: “I’ve always been a huge fan of Doctor Who, so when the offer to play one of my favorite people in history came, it made me so happy to be part of the show and it turned into this awesome, dream job!”

Matt Strevens, Executive Producer, says: “One of the great joys of Doctor Who are the legendary actors who want to come and join in the Doctor’s adventures. We were thrilled to welcome Goran and Robert, whose worked we’ve loved and admired for years. They create two iconic characters who are going to delight and entertain.”

Anjli Mohindra

Anjli Mohindra is quoted in a separate BBC press release: “As a huge fan of the last series, it’s a bit of a dream come true getting to work opposite Jodie, Mandip, Tosin and of course after all these years, to work with Bradley again! There’s something undeniably special about Jodie’s Doctor, and to be bringing some terror to the joint was rather fun indeed.”
