'The Landlord's charming says Poirot star David Suchet, who plays him. 'But like all charming people, what's lurking behind the smile? When one of her friends disappears, a suspicious Bill seeks help from the Doctor.'

As they investigate, the Doctor and Bill discover thousands of giant creepy cravvlies and come across a strange girl who seems to be made of wood.

'The Landlord doesn't mind the creatures,' says David. 'But they may make you want to hide behind the sofa - or climb on top of it!'

'I said yes before I'd read the script!' he says. 'It's the most iconic show on TV, so who wouldn't want to be in it?'
