  2. This is fantastic news. His presence during last year’s revival didn’t give him much to do other than smile and be nostalgic. The ‘memory loss’ storyline proved a red herring. Hopefully they give Harold a storyline that gives Smith a chance to perform the full depth of the character, and the full depth of his talent.
