Just listening to Radio Cornwall, and they said that local newcomer had been cast as an evil timelord in the new series of Doctor Who? Has anyone head about this and if so is he to be the Master?

Take it with a pinch of salt.
Can't seem to google up a picture of the guy either so he can't be very well known in TV circles - perhaps he's more of a stage actor?
They never said he was to be the Master that was my question, its just first thought that comes into your head when someone mentions a rival time lord.
Unless, of course, they have decided that the shiny new series needs an equally shiny new villain. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case, but I haven't heard anything either way as of yet.
Personally I think a new Evil Time lord would be great, as it would have lots of scope. If anyone is interseted I have heard that Radio Cornwall are going to have a quick phone chat with him at some point this morning, you can listen online through the BBC site!
You and me both, but I think he would be more likely to be davros

Not being sarcastic, but you posted this after the interview, so I hope nobody spent hours listening.
Basically I heard the same thing the cow heard yesterday, but as it transpires this chap is in posession of a Tardis but did not say he was a Timelord. Apparently he is in two episodes of series 2, but by the end of the second story the character "John" is not as he should be he assists the Doctor but the end of the episode will see him leave via Tardis with the Doctor being none the wiser, leaving a doorway open to series 3, I get the impression that "John" appears in School Reunion, as a school theme was mentioned.
Most of the chat which lasted about 3-4 minutes was spent on Children In Need, the guy playing John has some sort of involvement with children in need. He was very cagey about questions being raised and refused to say whether he was or was not the master. Apparently this guy is going to gatecrash as many live UK shows he can during the week running up to children in need to raise money for charity. They are going to show a report on spotlight everynight that week. If you have satelitte and dont live in the westcountry you can watch it on the 900 channels I think. BBC South West.
Didn't know how to respond to this. Thought an embarrassed chuckle would be appropriate.
chuff.x.
Not that I want the new Who to turn into a soap or anything (there's a fine line) but I think the fact that Rose's family were shown in the last series made it easier for a new audience to relate to the programme. Grounded it a bit and made the fantastic easier to accept by having at least a basis in everyday life.
Just my tuppence worth, anyway.
I think I need to drag up something I read a few days ago...
Well it was my dad who told me he was reading a thread on here a couple of nights ago and couldn't remember which one it was.
