PBS' Masterpiece will be represented on BBC America next fall, as Masterpiece Mystery! host Alan Cumming will have a guest role on Doctor Who Season 11.

Cumming: Whoops, the cat's out of the bag. I'm in an episode of Doctor Who!

In a move that could be described as "all your British Actors belong to us," the BBC has cast Cumming as a guest star next season on the corporation's flagship science fiction series. Cumming is known for his 25+ year career where he's starred in everything from the James Bond film GoldenEye to Stanley Kubrick's Eye Wide Shut to The Spice Girls' Spice World. But he's best known to PBS fans as the face and voice of Masterpiece Mystery! since the rebranding of the series in 2008.
