Even though I don't know her, she looks like a talented actress and I'm glad that they've chosen someone unknown, so no-one can moan and bitch about her
![]() http://www.highland-news.co.uk/news/...in_Dr_Who.html She has been on Dr who "The fires of Pompai" before. So I'm presuming they chose her just like they did with Martha. She was in the last episode with Rose (or the one before, but part one of it anyway ) and they chose her like that.

I still don't remember her from that episode.
*Methinks I need to go and watch it again* |

Oh no! It's looks like they're dragging the age of the stars down again to appeal to the idolised (by TV producers) younger demographic - just like Stargate: Universe.

Very best wishes to her. I'm very happy to see an 'unknown' take the role - but, of course, she won't be unknown for long!

OK, I don't want to make any comments really as I don't know anything about her, but that said here I go!!! I am 37, 38 this Summer and I am just starting to feel slightly alienated at the moment!!! I hope all that changes once I start to watch series 5 and all my small worries fade into total insignificance. I knew of course that with Matt being 26, the assistant was going to have to be young. I'm sure all will be fine, it's just me having a wobble.

She's not young, we are all old!
Good luck to her, I don't know her work so am going to just wait and see. Bit poor that it's up on DS before the Beeb mind.... |

At least, with Martha, she'd been clearly visible and not plastered with make up

She's the same age as Wendy Padbury was when she first played Zoe, two years older than Deborah Watling was when she played Victoria, and a year younger than Nicola Bryant was when she first played Peri. It's not the companions who are getting younger, it's we who are getting older. |

I suppose it makes sense that since they are going for a relatively unknown actor for the Doctor, they wouldn't want a big name assistant to overshadow him.

So she is the comapnion......cool....I wonder if she will be the only comapnion though...because in series 1 we had Jack too (yes I see him as a companion
)....

Ain't that the truth? Let's not forget, people, the programme is aimed at 8-12 year olds. That's the core target audience. 21 is not young in this context, it's old.
No its not.....and I like what the Moff has said.... Quote:
A generation of little girls will want to be her. And a generation of little boys will want them to be her too," he added
So sounds like she will be a very interesting character....

Yeah it is. When you're 12, 21 is a long time away. Anyone who's 21 is a proper adult who doesn't have to go to bed when their parents tell them to or go to school or anything!

Very good choice.
Any coincidence we have another redhead? (Goes away to write many conspiracies about her being Donna and the Doctors daughter, Donna from the past, clone of Donna etc) |

Excellent news, she looks lovely and it will be interesting to see what her character is like. It's also exciting coz we get to see a NEW Doctor introduce his new assistant to the Tardis and Time Travelling adventures!
*excited* At least with her previous apprearance you couldn't really tell it was her. Hell, being an unknown, up until now no-one in here knew who she was or that she was in that episode.
