The 65-year-old actress will play Queen Victoria on the show, which returns for a second series in March next year.
Pauline previously appeared on the programme in 1967, when Patrick Troughton was the Doctor, before finding fame in Upstairs Downstairs and Shirley Valentine.
A source told the Sunday Mirror, "Pauline found it amusing that she played a fashionable young woman in the 60s, but now she's playing a very wrinkly Queen Victoria."
