McInnerney, who plays Mr Halpen in 'Planet of the Ood', told Radio Times magazine: "Apart from having watched Doctor Who since the age of four, it's like The Morecambe and Wise Show - a mark of respect that you're asked to be in it."
"From an actor's point of view, they're some of the best scripts on television," continued the actor, best known for his roles in Blackadder and Severance.
Speaking about his villainous role in the episode, McInnerny added: "Halpen has great lines. He's witty and intelligent. He's not a cartoon baddie... he has a complexity. You do have some understanding of why he behaves the way he does."
