Day 28 – Favorite Guest Star – Doctor Who 30 Day Challenge

John Cleese in City of Death - Doctor Who

There weren’t a lot of guest stars that I knew who they were prior to their appearance in Doctor Who.  People like pop-singer Kylie Minogue who seemed to be popular in the UK, but, being an American, I had not a clue who she was.

There was Maisie Williams who I knew who she was from Game of Thrones (though I don’t watch it) , and her character, Ashildr/Me, had great potential to be an interesting part of series 9 and I really wanted to like her, but just fell flat in the beginning and then irritated me towards the end.

I already mentioned Michael Gambon being my favorite male actor and I could put him in for this as well. But trying not to repeat myself, that really narrows down to one person who I knew who he was, and the character wasn’t annoying – John Cleese’s cameo in City of Death as an art critic:

That’s the whole of his acting in Doctor Who. and it was wonderful!

And yes, I remember mentioning this scene in Favorite Classic Episode, but the category is different enough for me to mention it again.
