Ncuti Gatwa and Varada Sethu will of course be back in the lead roles, while they and Cumming are joined by other guest stars including Linus Roache, Lewis Cornay and, back for another mysterious appearance, Anita Dobson as Mrs Flood.

Ncuti Gatwa plays The Doctor

Who is the Doctor? The Doctor is a time traveller from Gallifrey, and the last of the Time Lords. He travels in space and time in the TARDIS. This version of the character is known as the Fifteenth Doctor, although we know there have been a number of additional incarnations.

Where have I seen Ncuti Gatwa before? Beyond his role as the Doctor, Gatwa is best known for his role as Eric Effiong in Sex Education, as well as for starring in Barbie and Masters of the Air.

Varada Sethu plays Belinda Chandra

Who is Belinda Chandra? Belinda is a nurse from London who, in The Robot Revolution, was kidnapped by robots and flown into the stars on their rocket.

At the end of the episode she told the Doctor to take her home in the TARDIS, but he found himself unable to get back to that particular date, time and location. We don’t yet know why this is the case, but we do know they will be trying to get back throughout the season.

Where have I seen Varada Sethu before? Sethu is no stranger for Doctor Who, having played Mundy Flynn in last season’s episode 3, Boom. She is also known for her roles in series such as Andor, Strike Back, Doctor Foster, Hard Sun and Annika, as well as films including Now You See Me 2, Jurassic World: Dominion and I Came By.

Alan Cumming as Mr Ring-a-Ding

Who is Mr Ring-a-Ding? Mr Ring-a-Ding is a cartoon who lives in Sunny Town with his friend Sunshine Sally. In 1952, after years of repeats in cinemas, he suddenly looks beyond the screen and sees the real world outside.

Where have I seen Alan Cumming before? Cumming is known for presenting The Traitors US, as well as for his roles in series including God, the Devil and Bob, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Shoebox Zoo, The L Word, Web Therapy, The Good Wife, Instinct, The Prince and Schmigadoon!.

He has also starred in films such as Goldeneye, Emma, Eyes Wide Shut, Annie, Titus, Spy Kids, Josie and the Pussycats, Burlesque and Battle of the Sexes. He played Nightcrawler in X-Men 2, a role he will be reprising in Avengers: Doomsday.

Cumming previously appeared in 2018 episode of Doctor Who, The Witchfinders, in which he played King James.

Linus Roache as Reginald Pye

Who is Reginald Pye? Little is yet known about Reginald, but it seems he works at the Lux cinema in Miami, where the episode is set.

Where have I seen Linus Roache before? Roache is known for his roles in films including The Chronicles of Riddick, Batman Begins, Mandy and My Policeman, as well as series such as Kidnapped, Law & Order, Coronation Street, Vikings, Summer of Rockets, Homeland, The Recruit, Fellow Travelers and Billy the Kid.

Where have I seen Lewis Cornay before? Doctor Who: Lux is Cornay’s first major on-screen role.

Anita Dobson plays Mrs Flood

Who is Mrs Flood? Mrs Flood is a mysterious figure, who previously posed as the next-door neighbour of the Doctor’s former companion, Ruby Sunday, and most recently was seen posing as the neighbour of Belinda Chandra.

She has a habit of speaking directly to the camera, and has made many threatening assertions towards the Doctor, although he is yet to become aware of her.

Speaking with RadioTimes.com, showrunner Russell T Davies confirmed she is a “villain”, and that she will be “popping up every week” – however, we don’t expect her true identity to be unveiled until later in the season.
