John Simm has denied that he will be returning to Doctor Who.
The actor addressed rumours that he'd be reprising his role of The Master after his name appeared on IMDb's cast list for upcoming Doctor Who episodes.
"In reply to many, regardless of what it says on imdb, No i'm not returning to Dr Who. Got absolutely no plans to do so #hopethatclearsitup," Simm tweeted on Monday (April 23).
Simm first appeared as The Doctor's mortal enemy in the three-part third series finale, later returning for David Tennant's final episodes in 2010.
He spoke of an interest in returning to Doctor Who last summer, when he told The One Show: "I haven't spoke to anyone about it, but I would definitely consider it [if asked]. It was such fun to do."
Sherlock actor Benedict Cumberbatch has recently been linked to the role of The Master, but current Doctor Matt Smith dismissed those rumours in February.
"I know Ben and I've not heard anything about it. But he's a wonderful actor and a mate," Smith commented.
Torchwood star John Barrowman recently revealed that he shared his desire to return to Doctor Who in a chat with Smitth, adding that showrunner Steven Moffat "thought it would be a great idea".
Doctor Who will return to BBC One and BBC America in the autumn.

Digital Spy:
Steven Moffat has blasted people who claim Doctor Who and Sherlock are "too clever".
The BAFTA-winning writer encouraged disgruntled viewers to "pay attention" and "think about" his dramas.
"There's been a weird backlash among, I presume, fairly stupid people about the fact the shows are complicated and clever, but they're both huge international hits," the 50-year-old told BAFTA Guru.
"We make no apology. Don't expect to do the ironing; sit down, pay attention and think about it. Audiences like complexity.
"They follow intricately plotted soap operas all the time. It depresses me when people say, 'It's all far too clever'."
On not having any plans to move on from the two programmes, he added: "The moment it's time to stop on a show is not an ambiguous feeling - you just suddenly think, 'I can't do it anymore; I've had enough'."
Ex-This Morning presenter Fern Britton spoke out against Doctor Who earlier this year, claiming it was "dreary".
Fern Britton = pot, kettle, black.

But thats the point !!!
At our house so many TV shows are the sort that we get up from and wander into the kitchen to get a cuppa or whatever.....
When Dr Who is on the only sound you will ever hear is an occassional SHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! to anyone silly enough to say anything... (usually its a "Ohhhhhh! Did you see that on the wall !! SHHHHHH!!!!!!!) Screams and leaping up in fright are always excusable!
Me and the girls suddenly begin animated discussion once its over! :dance: :dance: :dance:
In fact... I do believe its the ONLY show we all watch together where SILENCE FALLS
