Jacobi confirmed for Dr Who role

Shakespearean actor Sir Derek Jacobi is to take part in the third series of Doctor Who, it has been confirmed.

The 68-year-old actor, who was knighted in 1994, is best remembered for his role in the drama series I, Claudius.

The BBC would not confirm a newspaper report that he would play a character called The Professor when Doctor Who returns in the spring.

Sir Derek previously appeared as renegade timelord The Master in an online version of the sci-fi series.

I would have loved to have seen Derek Jacobi as the Master.

Also, they have had some fun actors on the show, the show has so much Cache, that they can just call up people and say “Hey, want to do a Dr. Who episode?” and people will do it.
