The BBC have confirmed that James Corden, who appeared in Series 5 Episode, 'The Lodger', will be returning as 'Craig Owens' in Series 6!It has been rumored that he would be returning to Doctor Who by various sources, but until now, it had not been confirmed.
From BBC Official Doctor Who Website:
We can confirm that James Corden is returning to Doctor Who!
James will reprise his role of Craig Owens, first seen in last series' adventure The Lodger. Back in 2010 James told us, 'There's been no talk of my return. I'd love another adventure - it would be great! I'm sort of disappointed I didn't get to go in the TARDIS...' Who knows if he'll find his way into the Doctor's time machine this time around?
The character of Craig Owens proved popular last year. James described him as 'an ordinary bloke' but part of the character's appeal was his quiet bravery and charm. He became firm friends with the Doctor and we're now looking forward to seeing that friendship renewed!
James said working on The Lodger had been 'fantastic' and you can still see the Set Tour he conducted whilst working on the episode, or watch the exclusive interview he gave us about life with the Doctor. Finally, you can remind yourself of Craig's sporting prowess by watching the famous scene where he plays footie with a number 11 who's out of this world...
We'll be bringing you more casting news soon!
