Kingsley’s credits include Schlindler’s List, Twelfth Night, and Gandhi, for which he won the Oscar.

The Law Is A Ass #460: Those “For Life” Sentences Are Nonsense
February 24, 2022
Even with only one appearance a year, the Daleks are in danger of getting overexposed. Is this one isn't a massive jump up from Daleks in Manhattan, their cachet is goig to be severly tarnished.About the only way they could make Davros interesting is to go farther back, before he was in Genesis of the Daleks, and see him while he was still healthy and vital. Since there's only the one Dalek left, I predict he'll go back to that time and basically try to help Davros with his research.As for Kingsley, hie work vacillates from Ghandi to…well, Thunderbirds. I wonder which one the Beeb will be hiring. He's got a lot to live up to with the spectactular job Derek Jacobi didlast season; easily the best guest appearance yet.We're supposed to see the Ood again this year as well. Could be intersting. I could do without another deus ex machina ending this year, tho.Waiting for the next Torchwood and the first Sarah Jane, too.
Second Sarah Jane; the poilot was aired at the end of last year. But I get your point.Jacobi did a fine job during the third season; he's a fantastic actor. He did one or two shots on Big Finish's original full-cast audio productions, staring as a sort of alternate universe Doctor. An odd concept, for Doctor Who.
