Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, sad! I didn't know he was sick!

That is very sad. On the Twin Peaks DVDs there's an interview with him where I think he gives a little a tour of his workshop, and he seemed like an incredibly charming and interesting guy.

I saw him at Dragoncon. He seemed really genuine, and a great guy. It's a shame.

Man, so sorry to hear that news. People with the kind of class and kindness Don Davis always displayed are becoming an increasing rarity.

I bet it's going to be all chopped to bits when they run it in the US.
I'm hoping Sci-Fi airs it in a 90-minute time slot. That way we'll only lose a few minutes, rather than about a third of the episode.

DW 4.12:
I decided to start rewatching the season to see what kind of foreshadowing they were laying in (now that it had actually met the light of day) and, boy, did 4.2 Fires of Pompeii lay in all kinds of groundwork.
Lucius Dextrous told the Doctor that "she was returning" and told Donna she "had something on her back." Two major themes for the season, right there.
Evalina said the Doctor's "true name was hidden in the sky, burning in the stars of the cascade of Medusa." Kind of leads us to believe we may actually learn the Doctor's real name, although I really hope not.
Also, the Parvelians, who were the stone aliens, were converting the earth because their planet was gone. And it turns out that's one of the ones taken to the Medusa Cascade by the Daleks.
I'm looking forward to rewatching more. 4.1 Partners in Crime had the bees going away and it also had a close-up of a car window with the Atmos logo in it. I love the way this series pays such close attention to detail by loading them all in before hand. Yeah, it's still got its asspully moments, but nothing really egregious to my mind.

All is well that ends in pizza.
After the Library episodes, I still say that the Doctor's real name is Arthur Fonzarelli.

I knew I loved that episode for a reason!
