And the returning villains for Series 4 will be...

The Sontarans
Casting Update

Monster role for Young Ones star (Series Four spoiler!)

Christopher Ryan, best known for playing super-cool Mike in the classic comedy series The Young Ones, is set for a guest-starring role in an upcoming Series Four adventure.

Ryan will play a Sontaran leader in the story, due to begin filming in the next few weeks.

"I'm absolutely delighted to be appearing in this new Doctor Who," Chris revealed. "The last time I appeared in Doctor Who was in 1986, Colin Baker was the Doctor and I was still a Young One."

The story in question was the Trial Of A Time Lord, where Chris starred as the slug-like Mentor Kiv alongside Trevor Laird, who played Martha's dad in 2007.

If you know your Who lore, the Sontarans will need no introduction. If you're a newer viewer, however, you may not know that the Sontarans are amongst the greatest villains from the classic series of Doctor Who.

A military, warlike species, able to clone vast armies of themselves, the Sontarans are locked into an eternal struggle with their enemies the Rutans.
I do hope that the'll have their showdown somewhere other than Earth this time - Tardis is, after all, Time And Relative Dimensions In Space.
Only two things are infinite - the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe: Albert Einstein.

Damn, you just about beat me to it. :P

I'm looking forward to this, hopefully it'll be good.

Is The Young Ones still being aired anywhere? I loved that show. When we adopted my dog, I almost named him SPG.
