Forget about the Heros casting this season, I am officially DEAD OF SQUEE that one of the best actors of this generation has signed the contract.

Holy FUCK that's AWESOME! And the name of the character makes me think he's a TIME LORD. That is soooooooo cool! *bounces*

Oh wow, cool!

And hmmm, he's played the Master at least once, in either Scream of the Shalka or one of the Big Finish audios (or both), so watch me speculate wildly and with no basis...

In other words, he's broadening his appeal to whole new generations. The Alec Guiness/Obiwan of Doctor Who.

Will they put him in a toga? (It reminds me of when he took the part in Gladiator, and knew more about draping the toga after I Claudius, than the designer.)

Just...holy crap!

FanTAStic!

Oooo, ooooo! That's just... *squee*

I watched I, Claudius at my mother's knee, and then guessed the bad guy in Dead Again when the little boy started to stutter. (And is it just me, or does the Whoverse tend towards names-of-jobs as names or what? The Doctor, the Master, the Professor, etc.)

Actually, if he's in a Mark Gatiss-penned episode, I know exactly who he's playing... and it's kinda cool.
