Doctor Who 2005 Cast: Where Are They Now?

Doctor Who Father's Day Pete Tyler

Because he died when she was young, Rose Tyler never knew her father, but in a standout Series 1 episode, she got to meet him for a brief amount of time.

As played by Shaun Dingwall, Father's Day is Pete Tyler's sole appearance in the 2005 series, but he did return in the following year, where he faced off against the Cybermen and the Daleks - at the same time.

Since leaving Doctor Who, Dingwall has appeared in countless film and TV projects, with a couple of video games thrown in for good measure.

Said video games include Dragon Age: Inquisition, Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, and Dragon Age: Origins, while his biggest film credit is easily the 2017 drama Goodbye Christopher Robin, which co-starred Margot Robbie and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

He played Pete once again in Big Finish's Rose Tyler: The Dimension Cannon in 2019, and recently bagged a recurring role in the alternate history drama Noughts + Crosses, alongside another fellow thespian, Stormzy.

He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
