Stunt casting implies that you cast someone solely because they are popular with your target audience. Now, i'm not really "down" with the kids anymore, i don't know a lot about hippity hop and Snoopy Snoopy Dog Dog, but i am fairly certain that most kids don't hang around the playgrounds discussing how cool Michael Gambon and Bill Nighy are.
James Corden you could maybe argue was stunt casting. But then it could also have been part of his contract with the BBC which apparently stipulates the annoying tit has to be all over the schedule during the World Cup.

Don't be elitist. As far as I'm concerned they can bring in Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Kim Kardashian, Kate Gosselin AND Graham Norton for all I care.
As HappyDayRiot noted, people need something to bitch about.Then why are people calling it stunt casting for the christmas special? The only stunt casting has been maybe Patrick Moore and a couple of other celeb cameos, everyone else, Peter Kay included, are all actors and have acted in other stuff besides Doctor Who.

Well I guess if you're getting a really famous/good actor to play a small part then it might be construed as that, but then though the role was minor it was important that it had a lot of gravitas. By the same token was the use of Vanessa Redgrave in Atonement stunt casting because she was only in it for a few minutes?
Anyone remember the days when people thought Moffat wouldn't engage in Stunt Casting?
What stunt casting did he do for series 5?
James Coran in "The Lodger," and, I'd argue, Bill Nighy in "Vincent and the Doctor."
I would think the inherent definition of stunt casting would be getting celebrities not normally associated with, say, a television show....or acting. Celebrities that would inherently create their own buzz or attraction to the show, based on their name alone. For example, Kylie Minogue was stunt casting. Bill Nighy would be a famous cameo. I feel there is a difference in there, as one is a celebrity and the other an actor...
^I see your point, but let's face it. She wasn't hired because her role on Neighbors. She was hired because she's Kylie Minogue...
