Three actors have been revealed as appearing in Doctor Who's sixth series, currently filming in Cardiff. Talent agency Alphabet Kidz reports that their client Jamie Oram has been cast on the show, joined by
Daniel Mays (Funland, Ashes To Ashes) and
Emma Cunniffe (The Bill, Casualty) as his screen parents. Oram will play "a troubled young boy who has a nervous disposition" in episode 4, supposedly titled "What Are Little Boys Made Of?" and written by
Mark Gatiss (The League Of Gentlemen, Sherlock). The traditional Doctor Who Christmas Special has already been filmed, scheduled for Christmas Day this year, starring Michael Gambon and Welsh opera singer Katherine Jenkins, in a story influenced by Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol".
