And is still great friends with Steven Moffat so it's certainly possible she could appear. Probably not as the companion but maybe she could guest star in an episode or something.
Sarah Lancashire no way
Katherine Pakinson (IT Crowd) no way
Surrane Jones, please, Oh God no!
Olivia Hallinan (Lark Rise) who?
Julia Swalha sounds good
Sherridan Smith, oh ok then
Zoe Wanamaker, what???
Michelle Ryan (as rumoured), sounds good
Natalie Cassidy, no way
Kelly Brook, great!!!
Amanda Holden, great!!!
Malranda Burrows (ex Emmerdale), great!!!
Davina McCall (she wanted to be a actress), no way
Dani Harmer (Tracy Beaker), perhaps...
Rachel Rice (Big Brother), who?
An ex Grange Hill actor, yeah like who?
Myleene Klass (she might act), then again she might not!
I think Sheridan Smith would make a good assistant After seeing her in the latest Jonathan Creek as his side kick i think she would def make a good doctor who companion.
I think Sheridan Smith is too well-known from other shows. Billie, while being famous, was hardly known for acting, Freema was almost unknown and Catherine Tate was just thought of as a sketch comedian.
Is there anywhere on-line taking bets on who the new companion will be? Despite the Paterson Joseph / Chiwetel Ejiofor debacle I'm feeling confident enough on this occasion to throw a few quid down on Hannah Murray.
I think Hannah Murray would be fantastic as would Sheridan Smith or Natalie Cassidy, i'm surprised Jaime Winstone of Dead Set fame hasn't been mentioned, great actress and younger then the new doctor.
Trying to think of young actresses who are brilliant but currently aren't working. The other original girls from Skins could also be a possibility.
I can't imagine either Maria or Rani from SJA getting the part, Maria is very good but very young while Rani, i'll be nice, isn't the best actress about.
Boo! I want Hannah Murray as companion, can she be forced into it? Contact Cambridge immediately and get the resident whovians to reject her (in a nice way I mean, perhaps with promises of money she will earn as a companion)
That was the one hot lead, who else have we got who could be considered a good option for companion?
Sheridan Smith
Natalie Cassidy
Jaime Winstone
Rachel Stevens
Adele Silva
Past character from Who?
Past character from Torchwood?
SJA children?
Lily Allen
Mischa Barton
Eastenders/Corrie/Emmerdale actress?
Who else?
Obviously some of these would be awful choices but who do you think would be good?
As with many of the proponents for Julia Sawalha, who I think would be perfect for the companion role, I agree that she probably wouldn't be as well suited for a Doctor as young as Matt Smith.
Sheridan Smith is another fine choice; her acting in the recent Jonathan Creek special (of which there will be another come Easter 2010 I hear!) showed how well she can perform the 'companion' role =D

Please God no. Maybe as a guest star in an episode but not one of the leads, anyway I think she's off to the States
I noticed that no one has commented on the fact that Julia Sawalha has already been The Doctor's companion.

What about Kylie Minouge who appeard in a Christmas special.
Or what about Linda Evans (currently in Hells Kitchen) though I don't think that would EVER happen
Of course the word round the campfire was also sure Paterson Joseph was the 11th Doctor, but never mind.

EDIT: Nevermind, just saw the 3rd Page :-$

She might be good, though I'd prefer Kacey Barnfield, who used to play Maddie, or Amanda Fahy (Shannon).
"News hot off the press. Just spoke to the lovely Hannah Murray who says she definitely isn't going to be Matt Smith's assistant in Dr Who."
Suggestion is she was up for it, but she's reading English at Cambridge and didn't want to give that up.
The internet strikes out. Again!

I'd suspect at this point it'll be a complete unknown.
I'd hunt her down and kill her before she got to shoot one second of footage before I'd let that happen.
Yeah, I remember a lot of people threatening to do that to Catherine Tate :rolleyes:
Catherine Tate has talent.
Unfortunately they failed...
