The actor was speaking with RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press on the set of Sanditon<\/a> season 2, where he also praised the sci-fi series as \u201ca really integral show in this country\u201d.<\/p>\n Marshall said: \u201cIt\u2019s always an honour to be considered\u2026 for what is a really integral show in this country, and other countries as well, one that\u2019s so long running, with such a brilliant history. To be someone to take on that rich mantle or even be considered for it is a brilliant honour.<\/p>\n \u201cBut if someone had approached me to do such a brilliant, rich historical part like that, then I probably would have done my research and I\u2019ve never seen it. Never watched it.\u201d<\/p>\n This comes after Marshall recently said that he\u2019s \u201cnever been approached\u201d for the role, explaining that the rumours may have spread because \u201cI left Death in Paradise<\/a> at around the same time as Peter Capaldi left Doctor Who, so the tabloids must have put two and two together to make five.\u201d<\/p> Marshall shouldn\u2019t have to fend off too many Doctor Who rumours for the time being \u2013\u00a0not only is the show fully staffed, with both Ncuti Gatwa\u2019s new Doctor<\/a> and David Tennant\u2019s returning Doctor<\/a> set to lead the show over the next couple of years, but Marshall also has his own hands busy.<\/p>\n The actor, who is currently appearing on screens Sanditon, is busy leading his own Death in Paradise spin-off Beyond Paradise<\/a>, which is set in rural England and co-stars<\/a> Sally Bretton, Dylan Llewellyn, Zahra Ahmadi and Felicity Montagu.<\/p>\n Additional reporting by Abby Robinson<\/em>.<\/p>\n Doctor Who<\/a>\u00a0is available to stream on\u00a0BBC iPlayer<\/a>\u00a0with episodes of the classic series also available on BritBox \u2013 you can sign up for a\u00a07-day free trial here<\/a>.
