Anthony Head as the Master becomes Prime Minister? So, would that mean that Doctor Who would exist in the same continuity as Little Brittain. |
Drat, I didn't realize he was already well known for a show in the UK already (I only know him from Buffy and DW). Pity that. When I think of him, I imagine the administrator from "School Reunion". Particularly that scene by the pool with Tennant. He has that smooth, yet slightly mad quality that makes a good Master. |
He's known for a few shows in the UK. Shortly after he left
Buffy, he did a drama about wealthy middle-aged men called
Manchild. (That show also starred Don Warrington, who played the President of Great Britain in the alternate universe in "Rise of the Cybermen.") He also played Uther Pendragon on
Merlin.
But then, nothing about
Little Britain should be taken too seriously. Tom Baker provides the narration and he's constantly breaking the 4th wall. In one episode, he just refers to Anthony Stewart Head as "That guy from
Buffy." In another, Tom Baker insists that there's never anything good on TV "except for
Doctor Who reruns and that one episode of
Black Adder II that I'm in."
