While we\u2019re yet to bid goodbye to Jodie Whittaker\u2019s Doctor, with her final episode<\/a> airing later this year, Doctor Who<\/a> fans can\u2019t help but get excited for Russell T Davies\u2019 return to the time-travelling juggernaut \u2013 particularly with 60th anniversary<\/a> star Neil Patrick Harris joining the action.<\/p>\n The Uncoupled<\/a> star is set to play a villain in Davies\u2019 Doctor Who anniversary celebrations, with many fans speculating that he could be taking on the role of the Celestial Toymaker<\/a> \u2013 although there has yet to be any sort of confirmation.<\/p>\n Speaking on Variety\u2019s podcast Just for Variety with Marc Malkin<\/a>, Harris has now spoken about how Davies approached him for the part, which he found to be \u201cdelicious\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cI get a text from Russell T Davies saying, \u2018So I\u2019m doing this thing and I\u2019ve written a thing and there\u2019s a part in it that you might like. I think it\u2019s delicious. Is it OK if I send it to you?\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cAnd I say, \u2018Of course Russell, you\u2019re Russell T Davies. Of course.\u2019 And he sent it and I started reading it and from the very, very first scene I was like, \u2018Ah, this is delicious.’\u201d<\/p>\n A very happy birthday to Neil Patrick Harris, filming new #DoctorWho<\/a> today! ????????
