I am not a fan of the modern shows vein of using famous people from the modern era (those with extensive historical footage so everyone knows what they sound or look like)
while famous people occasionally did appear in classic who as characters they were alway s pre talking film where only a passing physical resemblance was needed. The Ultimate adeventure had a Thatcher look alike but that was a stage play the distance from audeince to stage helps so long as they sound right
Using characters like Nixon, or Churchill is lazy to me....what next will the Doctor "bump" into a Queen Elizabeth look alike on her Jubilee?
This looks really good. The set-up in this preview is really creepy and has a definate hook for the viewer. If it's as good as the trailer it should be a really scary one.
There's nothing saying they can't use Rich Little but given the show is a UK TV series why would they look outside their talent pool? They would pick someone non-Hollywood who is closer to home. Nixon is a tough person to mimic. No question there. Still in that brief clip I think he pulled it off.
