Sacha Dhawan, who played the Master in the recently concluded 12th series of the beloved sci-fi series, confirmed on Twitter that he would be joining in with a rewatch of Spyfall Parts 1 and 2 tonight.

The watchalong will begin at 7pm, just two days after the most recent rewatch - of series five episode Vincent and the Doctor.

And writing on Twitter, Dhawan said, "Hey guys, you up for watching this with me? Will be tweeting live! Much love to everyone, hope you’re keeping well and safe."

Dhawan won plenty of praise for his performance in the episodes - for much of Part 1 he appears to be playing a character called 'O' before in a twist ending he announces that he has been the Master, the greatest nemesis of the Doctor, all along.
