It is not known who he is playing but sources say he is playing WINSTON CHURCHILL, a role he has already played on television in THE GATHERING STORM. Earlier this year JUSTIN RICHARDS, author of a number of DOCTOR WHO novels, revealed HERE that the production team wanted to use the ex~Prime Minister in a future story thereby vetoing the use of Churchill in his own story.
