Fifth Doctor Peter Davison is to join the cast of ITV's drama series Law & Order.

Filming begins shortly on the next series of the UK produced show based on the NBC Series. Davison will play Henry Sharpe, the man taking over the job of Director of the CPS, described as a down to earth pragmatist and a great boss. Returning to the series is Freema Agyeman who played Martha Jones in Doctor Who.

Law & Order: UK airs on ITV1 in the UK and is currently being shown on BBC America.

Cool!

I don't know why I like L&O:UK better than any of the American versions. Maybe it's just got a slightly different vibe from the other procedural cop shows on U.S. television...

Makes sense, Davison is probably the classic series Doctor with the most impressive dramatic television credentials. (Patrick Troughton would be the one with the best movie credits).

Lets hope they never have to invesgative a case at a Sci-Fi con

That would be so bloody brilliant!

So, will he be on the cop or lawyer side of the show?

^ Law. CPS is the Crown Prosecution Service.

just looking at the cast,Jamie Bamber was in an episode of The Last Decetive with Peter Davidson.

Meanwhile the show is also a Little Dorrit reunion, Freema Agyeman, Bill Paterson & Harriet Walter, were all in Little Dorrit.

Awesome news. I've pretty much given up on Law & Order in general with the exception of UK. I tuned in for Freema Agyeman and Jamie Bamber, but I have to say Ben Daniels is the reason I keep coming back. Davison will be a fine addition to the cast.

I need to check the show out again. I only watched about half of the first episode.

 

[Worf2DS9]

Who's the director of the CPS on the show? Is that Bill Patterson's character or someone we haven't seen before?

Good news about Davison though. This'll be the first time I've seen him in anything other than Doctor Who.

I think it would be unfair to limit Peter Davison roles to Doctor Who, he has done other stuff. (how much of that has been seen outside of the UK, is of course they key question)

• The Last Detective
• At Home with the Braithwaites
• All Creatures Great and Small

being 3 such example

Plus Campion and A Very Perculiar Practice to add another two into the mix.

this might induce me to watch it...I say might, it is on ITV which automatically puts me off!

Ben Daniels will be leaving the show at the same time as Bill Patterson.

It's Patterson's character, he's getting promoted up, so we might get to see him from time to time.

Dang, so do we know who's going to be replacing Daniels? Or will Davison's character be more hands-on and be taking his job as well? It would be neat seeing two DW alums, Freema & Peter, working on cases together.

Noice.

NOOO! That's terrible news.
