The buzz online today, following the announcement of Tom's appearance in series 8 of Doctor Who, has been amazing. A long term fan, Tom is clearly excited about being part of the show, and mentioned it (without revealing any details) in a recent interview for Screen Crush.
But I’m about to do an indie movie, then I’m going to do something for two weeks that I can’t talk about but I’m so excited about my brain wants to pop, and that will just about fit until we go again.
His tweet this morning has been quoted extensively in online articles.
Well that's out then. I've been a massive fan since I was even smaller than Jenna. Very excited. @Markgatiss's script is awesome. #DoctorWho

Several sources, including Wales Online posted articles about the announcement, along with some photos of Tom in various productions. No mention of Lost In Austen, nor Tom's connection with writer Mark Gatiss - Poirot Appointment With Death! They did include a hi-res version of this gorgeous photo, which we haven't seen before. It was taken last year, at the Neath premiere for season 1 of Da Vinci's Demons.
