BBC:

David Warner will star as the Doctor in the second of Big Finish's 'alternative Doctors' mini-series of audio dramas: Doctor Who Unbound.

Warner says he was delighted to accept Big Finish's offer to play the part in the story, called Sympathy for the Devil.

"I said yes as soon as I was asked," he admitted during the recording. "The whole fascination is that any actor who's cast brings whatever he has to it. That's the wonderful thing about anybody asked to play Doctor Who, they just bring themselves to it."

The star of such films as Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, and Titanic, David Warner, had previously been considered as a successor to Jon Pertwee's Doctor in the Seventies.

Joining David Warner in Sympathy for the Devil is Nicholas Courtney, returning as the Brigadier. In this particular alternate Doctor Who universe, the Brigadier is retired and running a bar in Hong Kong.

"In this story, the Bridagier's rather a failure," confided Nicholas. "He doesn't want to be involved with things. He's not a terribly happy person at this stage."

Nicholas was happy to return to Doctor Who once again. "It's another Doctor to add to my list. How many is that now? I suppose this is number nine!"

Sympathy for the Devi is currently scheduled for release in June 2003.
