Paul Forman will portray Lord Barton, a character described as a charming man from the Regency era who possesses hidden sinister intentions. The character is set to make its debut in the sixth episode of the season, titled ‘Rogue.’
Forman expressed his excitement about joining the cast of ‘Doctor Who’ in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. He said, ‘Any new chapter is exciting to be a part of, especially when it’s of a beloved and remarkable universe such as Doctor Who.’ ‘To join such an established project and to combine it with this feeling of new and unbounded possibilities was thrilling. It made this role a special experience that I will never forget,’ he added.
Showrunner Russell T Davies previously teased Forman’s character, saying, ‘He comes along in episode 6, and it’s a whale of a time. We’ve all seen Emily in Paris, and we’ve seen him being one sort of person. I don’t think anyone’s quite expecting him to become this sort of person.’
The upcoming season of ‘Doctor Who’ is scheduled to premiere on May 10.
