Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor and Richard E Grant as the Doctor
The Big Picture While many fans were watching the Doctor Who episode 'Rogue' for the Regency Era 'Oh my Bridgerton' feel of the episode or seeing just how things would play out between The Doctor and Rogue, there was an important cameo that viewers may have missed in the excitement. Richard E. Grant is not an unfamiliar face to Doctor Who, playing Dr. Walter Simeon, associated with The Great Intelligence, the big bad of Season 7B of Doctor Who.
"I wrote to Paul Cornell the night before, saying, 'Please watch tomorrow because there’s such a treat in store," Davies tells SFX. Paul Cornell wrote Grant's Doctor in the 2003 animated series Scream of the Shalka. Davies says he and Cornell are old friends and "it’s really nice when you can do things like that. That was a really nice moment between me and Paul."
The animated series aired before the rebooted live-action Doctor Who began. Cornell wrote Grant's Doctor intending him to be the Ninth Doctor after Paul McGann's Eighth's. The rebooted Doctor Who, as Davies said, effectively erases Grant's Doctor from the canon, with Christopher Eccleston taking on the designation instead. To keep the two separate, Grant's is often nicknamed 'The Shalka Doctor', referencing the main antagonist of the series.
