@devilishrobby Watch “Attack the Block”. Not only does it feature Jodie but also gave John Boyega his big role that boosted him into the Star Wars universe. It’s a lot of fun.

That was Laurence Fox. Who was married to Billie Piper. Come to think of it, are there any actors in Britain who have not either been in Doctor Who or are related to someone who has?

@devilishrobby

well it always puzzled me why he didn’t just regenerate each time he died
