John Simm on BBC 6Music
Tuesday, 13 February 2007 - Reported by Anthony Weight
John Simm appeared with his Life on Mars co-star Philip Glenister as guests on Nemone Metaxas's radio programme, broadcast on BBC 6Music, this afternoon. Simm spoke via telephone, rather than in studio with Glenister, as his wife has recently had a baby.
Mainly there to promote the second series of Life on Mars, which commences its run on BBC One this evening, Simm was also asked about the recent rumours concerning his possible guest appearance in series three of Doctor Who. Although there were no spoilers, the question contained speculation about a major character rumoured to be appearing in the new series.

Although there were no spoilers, the question contained speculation about a major character rumoured to be appearing in the new series.
Simm was asked a question that had been e-mailed in by a listener, querying whether it was true that he had been cast to appear at the end of series three as the Doctor's old Time Lord nemesis, The Master. "It's all speculation and all rumour at this point - I think it's just journalists getting a little bit over-excited," was Simm's reply. Asked whether he would consider the role were it to be offered, Simm replied "I don't know", agreeing with Nemone that this was basically a "no comment".
The interview can be heard on the Listen Again feature on the BBC 6Music website. Simm and Glenister appear roughly two hours into the "Nemone" programme.
