Doctor Who Flux: 14 Best Easter Eggs You Might've Missed

7. Kevin McNally's OTHER Doctor Who Role

Having been on the air for almost 60 years, Doctor Who is full of double-dippers, and Village Of The Angels contains two you might not be aware of.

The first is Kevin McNally. Throughout Flux, he played Professor Eustacius Jericho, but his first Doctor Who role was actually in the 1984 Sixth Doctor serial The Twin Dilemma, where he played Hugo Lang.

Somewhere, somehow, there's a fan theory that connects these two characters.

The second is the brilliantly-named Vincent Brimble, who played Gerald in Village Of The Angels - he's the old man who tries to use the TARDIS as an actual phone box.

Brimble first appeared in Doctor Who as the Silurian Tarpok, who was defeated by the Fifth Doctor in another 1984 serial, Warriors Of The Deep.

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. 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!
