In the far-flung future, all of humanity's news is filtered through the mysterious Satellite Five, a gigantic space station controlled by (deep breath now) The Mighty Jagrafess of the Holy Hadrojassic Maxarodenfoe.

Big J (for short) conducts its business via a human servant known as The Editor. He's played by everyone's favourite supernerd Simon Pegg, and boy, has he been busy since 2005. 

Pegg has risen from cherished UK comedian to bonafide megastar over the last 20 years. From Edgar Wright's Cornetto trilogy to Mission Impossible to The Boys, Pegg has been in anything and everything, usually putting in a great performance to boot.

He's not only been in the Doctor Who universe, but also the Star Wars, Star Trek, and Harry Potter ones too, having recently voiced Headmaster Phineas Nigellus Black in the 2023 smash-hit video game Hogwarts Legacy.

He continues to be one of the busiest men in Hollywood, and will next be seen in the eighth (and final?) Mission Impossible movie in 2025.
