"Hugh Bonneville is to make a guest appearance in the next series of Doctor Who. The Downton Abbey star will play a &amp;quot;pirate captain&amp;quot; on the sci-fi drama, according to The Sun. &amp;quot;I am thrilled to be appearing in the new series,&amp;quot; Bonneville was quoted as saying. &amp;quot;When I was a boy, the music and Jon Pertwee&amp;#039;s Doctor had me peeking out from behind the sofa every Saturday.&amp;quot; He continued: &amp;quot;Although the pirate&amp;#039;s demons are different to those of the young lad who watched through his fingers, they are no less terrifying. This new adventure is not for the faint-hearted.&amp;quot; Bonneville later wrote via Twitter: &amp;quot;No idea what the weather&amp;#039;s like on earth this day in 2011 because I am elsewhere, IN THE ACTUAL TARDIS ACTUALLY (sic).&amp;quot; The actor previously received a BAFTA nomination for his performance in 2001 film Iris and will reprise his role as Robert Crawley in a second series of Downton Abbey later this year. The sixth series of Doctor Who is expected to launch on BBC One in the spring. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
