One of the stars of US show The Wire is to play a role in the new Dr Who spin-off animation, Dreamland.

Clarke Peters, who played Lester Freamon in the hit show, will voice a native American called Night Eagle.

The Doctor and Peters' character, who he describes as "an old man but a hell of an archer", are caught up in an alien invasion of Roswell, New Mexico.

Tennant will provide the voice for the Doctor in the six-part series, which is due to be shown later this year. Peters admits his son has become a big fan of the show and has already got David Tennant's autograph for him.
