Warning: contains potential spoilers for the 60th Anniversary in references to behind-the-scenes set photos and footage.
Neil Patrick Harris is going to be part of Doctor Who’s 60th anniversary. In a variation on the ‘show, don’t tell’ storytelling maxim, the publicity team and Russell T. Davies have stirred fans into speculation by releasing a photo of Harris in costume and make-up but not telling us who he’s playing. The images we’ve seen suggest multiple possibilities, and speculation around the casting will help to keep Doctor Who in the public consciousness – a speciality of Davies as a showrunner.
It’s worth noting Davies’ description of Harris’ character as ‘the greatest enemy the Doctor has ever faced’, because that man really knows how to plug something. On one hand, it’s pure hype, and on the other it poses questions: who is the Doctor’s greatest enemy? What does that mean?...
