Actors from Coronation Street, Desperate Housewives and Spooks are reportedly the latest casting additions for the third series of Doctor Who.
The Sun reports that the revived family show will have an episode set in 1930s New York that will feature actress Miranda Raison, who plays Jo Portman in Spooks, as a 'sexy showgirl'. An insider told the paper: "We always like to add a touch of glamour and Miranda's got it in spades."
71-year-old former Coronation Street star Anne Reid, who portrayed Valerie Barlow, is also set to line up in the new series alongside Ryan Carnes, who played gardener Justin in Desperate Housewives.
Doctor Who won three awards at last night's National Television Awards, with David Tennant taking Most Popular Actor, Billie Piper picking up Most Popular Actress and the show scooping Most Popular Drama.
