Richard E. Grant's Shalka Doctor is finally acknowledged in 'Rogue.'
Doctor Who is currently in the middle of a bold new era, with the adventures of Ncuti Gatwa 's Fifteenth Doctor continuing to subvert the expectations of its audience. The series' most recent episode was no exception — especially since it may have just officially folded in one of the franchise's long-forgotten Time Lords.
Part of the episode concerns the Fifteenth Doctor and his dynamic with Rogue , a cosmic bounty hunter investigating the secret invasion of the shapeshifting alien race the Chulders. Rogue accuses The Doctor of being a Chuldur, and utilizes the scanner on his ship to confirm that he is a shapeshifter and send him to his death. Moments before that can happen, The Doctor knocks the scanner so it can register all of his past regenerations.
Who Did Richard E. Grant Play on Doctor Who?Although Grant is far from the first or last actor to portray multiple characters on Doctor Who, having already played the Great Intelligence in Season 7, he does belong to an exclusive club of actors who have actually portrayed multiple Doctors. Grant first appeared in 1999's The Curse of Fatal Death, a Red Nose Day-exclusive special that originally sought to parody the existing franchise, which had been on hiatus since 1996.
A few years later, Grant once again joined the franchise through the 2003 animated series Scream of the Shalka. In it, Grant voiced an alternate version of the Ninth Doctor, who has affectionally been dubbed the"Shalka Doctor" by the fandom in the years since.
