He returned to the series in 2006 as a version of the character from an alternate reality, meeting David Tennant's Tenth Doctor and finally saving Rose's life at the climax of Doomsday. Towards the end of the decade, Dingwall had parts in programmes such as Spooks, Survivors and Moses Jones. He could also be seen on the silver screen in the likes of Hush and The Young Victoria.
