Actor Matt Lucas is set to return to the world of time travel. The BBC confirmed earlier yesterday that Lucas will appear in the forthcoming 10th season of sci-fi show Doctor Who.
Lucas previously appeared in 2015's Christmas special as Nardole, an assistant to Alex Kingston's River Song and with Peter Capaldi as The Doctor. "I'm chuffed to bits that Nardole is returning to the Tardis for some more adventures", Lucas told the BBC.

Remember - a Nardole isn't just for Christmas....

Showrunner and executive producer for the series Steven Moffat said he is "delighted and slightly amazed" to have Lucas back. He added, "one of the greatest comedy talents on planet Earth is being unleashed on all of time and space".
Lucas will appear as Nardole in the first episode of season 10 alongside Capaldi and Pearl Mackie who plays recently revealed new companion, Bill. The new season will begin filming on June 20 in Cardiff. Doctor Who will return to television with a Christmas special this year while season 10 is due to air in 2017.
