Actor, comedian and writer Reece Shearsmith will be seen in a guest role in a special episode of "Doctor Who".
"I am absolutely thrilled to be filming 'Doctor Who' as Mark Gatiss has written a fantastic role for me in a very scary episode. It has been so exciting to be part of a very singular episode which, I can say with authority will be unlike any previous episode of 'Doctor Who'.
"It's a joy to play a part in the show. Certainly a badge of honour," said Reece, known for his work as part of "The League of Gentlemen", reports bbc.co.uk.
He will be joined by Elaine Tan, Neet Mohan, Bethany Black and Paul Courtenay Hyu.
Other guest cast members for the new series include Michelle Gomez, Maisie Williams, Rufus Hound, Ingrid Oliver and Rebecca Front.
