[edit] Cast notes
The casting of Tom Ellis as Tom Milligan has been reported by The Sun, but not confirmed by any official source, though he has been spotted on a beach with Freema Agyeman (who was wearing SAS-style clothing). Similarly, The Sun has reported that Elize Du Toit's character is named "Miss Dexter" and is a villain.[3]
The Sun has also reported that John Simm will appear in the finale as the Doctor's arch-nemesis the Master.[4][5] Although this has not been confirmed or denied by official sources, an interview with The Independent on Sunday seems to confirm Simm's casting.[6] Simm refused to confirm that he had been cast in an interview broadcast on BBC 6Music on February 13, 2007, but also did not deny the story outright.[7]
According to people present at the Millennium Centre in Cardiff, where a scene from this episode was being filmed, Simm is in fact playing the newly-elected Prime Minister, Mr. Saxon.[8] Clips at the series three press launch have shown Simm and on the Newsround[8] report on the 22nd March show Tennant and Simm both referred to the character as 'Mr Saxon', but Tennant also goes onto say that he's 'more than a match for the Doctor in ways that he can't imagine'.
In the issue of Radio Times covering the start of the 2007 series, it was stated that this episode would contain the Toclafane, as well as the Doctor encountering the power of the Archangel, finding terrible secrets at the heart of the Valiant, and facing his greatest enemy yet.
