Bill Nighy in Doctor Who Series 5!!!

I wake up and what news do I see? Bill Nighy, who was in Shaun of the Dead, Underworld and Pirates of the Carribean amongst many other things, is to guest-star in an episode of Doctor Who!! How brilliant is this?

The British thespian will play the curator of the Van Goh exhibit in the Richard Curtis penned episode that also stars Tony Curran as Vincent Van Goh himself. Apparently, he will have some similar fashion choices to The Doctor himself.

The episode, the Tenth in series 5, will take place both in the present day and in 19th century France.

Series 5 is gearing up to be exceptional. How excited are you about this casting news?
