So no:

The Doctor: From Scotland are you?

Karen: Yep

The Doctor: Not got any Italian blood in you then, as you're the spitting image of someone I met in Pompeii?

Good Luck to her.”





Although to be serious....chances are that won't happen as he didn't actually meet her personally...although the Doctor being the Doctor....you never know

No, for me his comment meant more about her character, rather than her age....I just have a feeling, she maybe a bit of a tomboy...someone who both girls and boys could look up to.....nothing to do with age...

No wonder I didn't recognise her. She was coverered in makeup the 1st time she was in the show. Decent acting IIRC

She is taller than expected, although it could be that the guy is tiny

The word "Rani" can be made from the actresses name I notice

If the Doctor gets into this assistants knickers then he'll never leave the Tardis again

She's only 3 years younger than Janet Fielding was in the role.

I'm not sure he's even saying she was a tomboy. I took it to mean "she's cool..." (all the girls will want to be her) "...and she's pretty" (all the boys will want the girls to be her).

Leave it!


Back on-topic though: I think I've just fallen in love!

Delighted that an unknown has been chosen, it'll hopefully prevent too much gnashing of teeth across tinternet (seems to be the case going by this thread).

I think she's just the right age personally.

Must be a windup, surely?

EDIT: Actually I see what he's done there, because everyone's comenting on how georgous she is, he's spoofed that to make everyone look like text-speaking imbeciles, thus affirming the belief that Doctor Who is turning into Hollyoaks cos Tom baker isn't in it any more.

Probably. The profile says:

Age:
29
Location:
Norwich
Services:
PSN id: Richieboy. Twitter: RichieNorfolk
Biography:
Male, late 20's, not single, insufferable geek.
Interests:
Telly is cool, as are Video games that include shooting, fighting, driving or all three.

Just watching the clips on YouTube from the Kevin Bishop show and she looks a great choice.

There's definitely something about her and she can at least handle comedy (even if the script isnt great). Really looking forward to the new series as they looks like they are really taking risks with the casting.

I demand an on-screen explanation as to why a young woman from (presumably) present-day Scotland looks like the same as someone from ancient Pompeii.

If not I'll have no choice but to boycott the series.











Or not.

I know tell me about it......this is the first time the the show in 45 years has gone for such a young assistant.....who has been commented on looking so hot or whatever.....and not be judged on her acting even though no one has said that they don't care if she can act or not......because they have not much to go by yet.....mmmmm strange world indeed....


Although your comment makes a difference from having the usual sacrastic comments about the New series using male totty for females, who are not real fans as they will leave once Tennant goes......

So does this news mean we have to start complaining about Moffat's "Scottish Agenda"?

Ooooh can we start a Redheads Agenda agenda please?
That's 2 red headed assistants now I can't believe they are so hairist.
Or something?

That's just to annoy the Doctor, all his assistants are now ginger but he isn't.

The real question is what happens to persuade the Doctor to start taking permanent companions again? After Rose, Martha and Donna the Doctor has decided to travel alone forever so it'll be interesting to see what makes him change his mind.

Ohhh now that they still have a red head.....and even though its not Donna....maybe they can adapt the book Shining Darkness.....I would really love to see the scene of a bunch of aliens worshipping the Ginger Goddess

If Moffat casts Susan Boyle then yes.

Given the show's wide international sales and the fact that many Americans seem to have difficulties understanding strong Scottish accents, will she have to tone her natural accent down?
