Doctor Who: Dinosaurs on a Spaceship – What is not to like about this upcoming episode. This episode has a serious Harry Potter connection with Mark Williams (Arthur Weasley) and David Bradley (Argus Filch) guest starring. Sherlock is represented too with Rupert Graves who plays DI Lestrade. With a cast like that you can’t go wrong. It promises to be action-packed.
