New Who S3 Casting Spoiler

[neadods]

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.

I read the Virgin New Adventures... and most of the current scriptwriters wrote them. You know the gag in Remembrance of the Daleks where Ace turns on the television? It got picked up in Mark Gatiss's book "Nightshade" bigtime. And I think it's totally what they'd do in the new series; not a Timelord helping save the Earth, but the actor who plays The Professor in "Professor X" being called on to play the part of the real thing and save his home planet. Heck, it might even be a story based on Nightshade, because that was largely the plot of Nightshade, as I recall. And, IIRC, Gatiss does have at least one script this coming season.

I had bad luck with the New Adventures and didn't read many of them. I'll have to check out Nightshade, though. After all, I rather liked that plot when Batman TAS did it...

Oh, yes, it's a very Gray Ghost sort of concept. At least, so far as I can recall - I probably haven't read it in about ten years.
