In an interview with Sci-fi Wire Russell T. Davies, executive producer of Doctor Who, revealed that the show's third series will feature William Shakespeare.
"William Shakespeare (played by Shameless's Dean Lennox Kelly) is going to be in one of the episodes," said Davies. "And I think it's going to be one of those lavish, gorgeous episodes. We're really travelling around the country to get the right locations, because Elizabethan streets are not easy to come by, so the whole crew is going on the road. We're spending three nights in the Globe Theatre, which is the replica of Shakespeare's Globe, so it's a really big shoot. I'm very excited about that one and the script by Gareth Roberts, which is just gorgeous, so that's going to be very exciting."
The problem is... Isn't Shakespeare the most over used "time travel" plot device?
