Doctor Who casts Line of Duty's Keeley Hawes in series 8

Keeley Hawes is to play a major role in the next series of Doctor Who.

Hawes - currently starring in BBC Two's hit drama Line of Duty - will play Ms Delphox on the BBC sci-fi drama.

Described as a "powerful out of this world character with a dark secret", Delphox will encounter the new Doctor (Peter Capaldi) and companion Clara (Jenna Coleman) when they arrive on a strange and puzzling planet.

"I am delighted to join Doctor Who and to be working with this incredible team," said Hawes, who will appear in the fifth episode of the new series, written by Steve Thompson.

"Ms Delphox is a great character and someone I've had a lot of fun playing."

Doctor Who's lead writer and executive producer Steven Moffat added: "Anyone watching Jed Mercurio's amazing Line of Duty will know that Keeley Hawes is having one hell of a year. And now it's about to get even better as she achieves the greatest villainy yet attempted on Doctor Who - she plays a banker."

In addition to playing DI Lindsay Denton on Line of Duty, Hawes has also appeared in Spooks, Ashes to Ashes and Upstairs Downstairs.

Filming is currently under way on the new series of Doctor Who - Capaldi's first as the iconic Time Lord - with new episodes set to transmit in the autumn.

Doctor Who: Peter Capaldi's first episode thrilling, says Mark Gatiss

Mark Gatiss has promised an "exciting" and "disturbing" debut for Peter Capaldi on Doctor Who.

Speaking to Digital Spy at the London Lesbian & Gay Switchboard 40th Anniversary Gala last night, Gatiss spoke about writing for Doctor Who series eight.

"Peter has a very different energy to Matt Smith and to David Tennant," he said. "He's older which changes everything - it's amazing what a change does!

"Matt was sublime and I was very sorry to see him go, but it's also great to have a change - as it has always been with the Doctor."

Gatiss added that Capaldi's new Doctor brings with him "a whole new set of rules".

"The Doctor's always the Doctor - but you can have a lot of fun playing with people's expectations," he continued. "Everyone knows how the previous Doctor would react in any given situation - and now you just don't know!"

Steven Moffat has written Capaldi's first full Doctor Who episode, which Gatiss described as "thrilling".

The sci-fi drama will return to BBC One later in 2014, with Sherlock's Steve Thompson also among the confirmed writers for the latest run.
