Oh I see what you did there! If I haven't already spammed it enough, I'm very happy with this latest bit of casting speculation Shouldn't get my hopes up yet, though!
I wonder if the story on the main page is accurate. Den of Geek ran it this morning too - came from the Sun, I think. I would rather wait for proper confirmation, though!
I don't understand all this "samey" nonsense. I really don't. Minutes after the announcement and there are those who are presuming they know everything the character will be like.
No idea she even existed until today (the only person I've seen abbreviated to JLC is Justin Lee Collins!)
Not keen on her early shows (Emmerdale and Waterloo Road), they're too 'soapy' and don't tend to produce the best actors. Titanic looks a bit more serious, although it is ITV so I'm not going to hold out too much hope.
It's not a bad thing I've not seen her before, that way I won't be able to carry over any previous opinions. Congratulations to her for getting such a competitve role
Wonder if she's a DW fan?

I always thought JLC was Justin too!
Various Twitter links say that she is a huge fan, her favourite companions were Billie and Karen, she auditioned with Matt and Steven Moffat said she was the only actress whom Matt had to try to keep up with. Also rumoured that she will not be from Earth - I like the thought of that!
I have no problem with her not being from Earth. I can't see there being a drastic change in appearance. An off-world Human, or alien race very similar to Humans.

A casual viewer would never have know that Nyssa and Turlough were not from round these here parts!
First episode the Christmas special - what an introduction! The number of people who watch on Christmas Day and it will be her debut - lovely!

All good news! I like it when the actors are fans as well. It's nice to have a companion from Earth who can ask the obvious "backwards civilisation" questions that we all need answering, but it will add a nice twist if the companion is from a civilisation with proper space travel who can partly understand what the Doctor is on about!
The Doctor Who twitter just revealed this about Amy and Rory's departure..
Steven "Amy & Rory will leave in a final encounter with the Weeping Angels in ep 5. Not everyone gets out alive and I mean it this time"
Re spoiler: I'm not a massive Amy fan (although I love Rory ) but already I'm thinking this is going to be a real tearjerker. I've enjoyed having 2 companions, it stops the story being all about the Doctor and his companion exclusively.
Of course, if they're just sent back in time to live to death, I'm sure the Doctor could bend some rules of time and space to pop in and say hello!
I'll come in here as the other thread seems to be descending into arguments ... hardly a surprise for some on this forum.
Anyway, I know her from Emmerdale and have to say I am happy. She isn't who I was expecting at all but then I haven't really been thinking about it. Completely slipped my mind we were due an announcement till I saw someone on twitter say last night we were getting one today.
Apart from that, not much I can say about it until I actually see her in action in DW. But I look forward to finding out.
Interesting news about how they are splitting the series and glad to have definite word that we are still getting the full 14 eps (inc christmas special) even if it does go into 2013.

It always is and always will be With a handful of "Who?"
No, they're only casting a companion this time
I'm probably setting myself up for disappointment. :cool:
That would be a good call if it turns out to be true!
I have never seen her in anything yet myself, so don't really know anything about her.
+1 as always, Muttley. Or should I say..
Exactly the kind of mass debate I would expect :rolleyes:
I think there'll be a few announcements, possibly more guest stars.
There's been rumours of a big American in the opener. George Cloony ? Tom Cruise ?
Can you imagine the threads if Miranda Hart got a role.
I did notice that on twitter, the DW official twitter account seemed to indicate more than one big announcement today, so we shall see.
Anyone see the poor attempt at trolling in the companion thread.....:yawn:
A few people moaning on Gallifrey Base, but mostly positive and no negative posts here.
Yeah, thankfully not a regular contributor to DS
Yes, I haven't really seen her in anything before, so looking forward to seeing her in that!
