The penultimate episode of Litvinenko featured Sam Marks and Joanna Kanska. Given that Litvinenko was played by David Tennant, Marks was in the Tennant Tenth Doctor episode The Shakespeare Code playing Wiggins. Kanska was in the Big Finish episode Situation Vacant in which her character Rachel declined the Eighth Doctor's offer to be his companion.

Saw the TV movie Runaway Christmas Bride (2017) and unavoidably it made me think of the 2006 Doctor Who Christmas Special its almost namesake The Runaway Bride as both are about runaway brides at Christmas with the said TV movie making it plain to see in its title that it takes place at Christmas. Certain differences between two titles include no sci fi elements in the TV movie and the of timing when these brides ran away. In The Runaway Bride, Donna became one just before she got to be married whilst the Runaway Christmas Bride became that just after getting married. Donna mentioned the lack of pockets in her wedding dress and while the word pockets wasn't mentioned in Runaway Christmas Bride that certainly was an issue when she was asked to provide her photo ID as she was in her own wedding dress and no pockets to put her photo ID in! The titular Runaway Christmas Bride was played by Cindy Busby and her previous work included a couple of episodes of the US The Tomorrow People. With Runaway Christmas Bride being similar in premise and name to The Runaway Bride makes me feel this is the closest that Busby has come to being in Doctor Who. Coincidentally Runaway Christmas Bride came on my birthday December 9 2017.

Arlen and Ismay were both in The Mutants.

Started Queen Charlotte: A Bridgeton Story with Adjoa Andoh.
It is a prequel spin-off to Bridgerton also with Andoh.
The said Queen Charlotte is the real-life Queen Charlotte who was the queen consort of George III of England but this is a fictionalised story about her.
Queen Charlotte here is played by two people, younger and older versions of her and they were India Amarteifio and Golda Rosheuvel respectively and they have both been in the Whoniverse.
Amarteifio played Alison, one of Clara's students in The Magician's Apprentice and Rosheuvel played Dr Angela Connolly in the Torchwood episodes Dead Man Walking & Exit Wounds.
Also in Queen Charlotte: A Bridgeton Story were Cyril Nri, Joshua Riley, Sabina Arthur and Neil Edmond.

Saw Billie in the movie Scoop (2024) in which she plays real-life journalist Sam McAlister based on the book Scoops by the real Sam McAlister. Other real-life people being portrayed here include another journalist Emily Maitlis played by Gillian Anderson. The real Emily Maitlis had made a cameo as herself in Revolution of the Daleks which coincidentally had a reference to Rose who had been played by Billie. Also in Scoop include Kate Fleetwood, Richard Goulding, Gordon Warnecke, Keeley Hawes, Charity Wakefield, Andrew MacBean, Tim Bentinck, Christopher Fairbank and Alex Jordan. Hawes and Fairbank were both in Peter Capaldi's first season as the Doctor in Time Heist & Flatline respectively. Although not exactly in close proximity to Hawes and Fairbank's guest stints, Wakefield guest stars later on in the Capaldi era in The Return of Doctor Mysterio. In Scoop, Wakefield plays Princess Beatrice. Bentinck too did work during the Capaldi era of Doctor Who just episodes after Wakefield was in The Return of Doctor Mysterio with Bentinck voicing the Monks in Extremis & The Pyramid at the End of the World. Also Bentinck had at one time doubled for the Fourth Doctor in the official completion of Shada.
