Big Finish

Culshaw is no stranger to the world of Doctor Who. Back in the early 200os, he was a regular on the BBC Radio 4 comedy series Dead Ringers, where he often prank-called people in the guise of Tom Baker's incarnation of the Time Lord to hilarious results, climaxing in him calling up Tom Baker himself, only to be out-Bakered by Baker. He also appeared in the series' brief TV version in Candid Camera-style skits, where he showed up in real settings and acted like the Doctor. In the last few years, he has appeared in various roles for Big Finish audios, including voicing The Brigadier, the two incarnations of The Master originally played on television by Roger Delgado and Anthony Ainsley from the 1980s, and the shapeshifting android Kamelion alongside Peter Davison. He has already voiced the Twelfth Doctor in Doctor Who – Halloween: Sea Smoke and Other Stories before his first full season of audio dramas.
