First look at Jenna Coleman as Victoria
1 of 3
Jenna is such an amazing actress. Clara is by far my favourite ever character, including anyone from the classic series. Seeing her in Victoria will be wonderful but will also remind me what a sad loss she is to Dr Who 
I might watch it but not if it's full of rumpy pumpy and full of men taking off their shirts. No idea what has happened to all these costume dramas of late
Jenna's Victoria looks a million miles away from the Miriam Margolyes version of Victoria in Blackadder's Christmas Carol (for me, the definitive image of Victoria
), but not too dissimilar to the Pauline Collins Doctor Who version. In fact, if you seek out images of the young Pauline you may a bit of a look of Jenna about her.

Ah, a man of taste I see.

At least Victoria is supposed to be miserable, bossy, and uptight, so if she just's plays it the way she played Clara she she should be fine in the role.

I might have watched this, but as Clara is by far the worst continuous character ever to appear in Who that has unfortunately put me off.

Yeah, it was a loss of two and a half seasons when we could have actually had good stories and adventures rather than watch Clara date. Clara Who is dead; long live Doctor Who.

Yes, but she's by far the most competent actress to ever play a companion. I loved Clara but the writing was bad most of the times. Jenna played Clara very well for what she was given.
Victoria looks phenomenal.
I'll give it a go but lavish as it looks, it still feels typical for ITV though.
I'd have liked something a little more adventurous.
It does look good though.

Jenna is absolutely amazing as Victoria as I knew she would be What an incredible actress she is. In addition to her 37 wonderful episodes of Dr Who there are now Victoria episodes to watch, happy days indeed Victoria will fill the gap while awaiting her return as Clara

... her return as Clara? What a truly sickening thought.

She's not a bad actress but I think the vast majority of the female companions would be ahead of her in the actual acting stakes! Seriously, she had her moments but was never really compelling, and the character was so irritating anyway it was a relief when she finally went away.
One review referred to her in Victoria as 'growing from an adolescent with a daddy complex to a flighty young woman with an imperious streak. Well, she's done it before as it was exactly the character she played in Doctor Who'.
Loving the series so far.
Great to see three Doctor Who related actors in this; Jenna Coleman, Tommy Knight and Eve Myles.
It's probably a little early to be saying this, but I will be getting the DVD once it's on the shelf in my local HMV.
Anyone know when the DVD release is? I'd say late October, if not early November.

I like to think she is a clara splinter. It would be cool if they could have a cameo of the tardis just there in one of the scenes.

Yup she's great in it, so pleased Jenna has gone straight from the TARDIS into such a major role
I've watched the first two episodes and I'm loving it. I'm not much of a history buff so I'm finding the whole story pretty fascinating.
I think Jenna is great in the role.
I think Jenna is great in the role.
I'm watching this too and think she is brilliant as Victoria, just as she was as Clara.
As has been said, it's nice also to see some Who related actors in there too. I think Tom Price, aka PC Andy Davison from Torchwood, was in the first two episodes as well.

I agree. She's great. I liked her as Clara and in this. Good to see the Who alumni doing g so well. It means good up and coming actors won't think twice about taking on major roles in it. That typecasting nonsense hopefully will be a thing g of the past

Ladies and gentleman. I give you proper companions
Louise Jameson, Caroline John and Liz sladen
I dont think shes a bad actress I just despise Clara and all the baggage she brought to the show, I started dancing around the Television when she dropped dead in Face the Raven.
I'm afraid I found Clara so dislikeable that I do now struggle to watch anything with Jenna in it.
Which is a shame because I loved her first few episodes (Asylum of the Daleks and The Snowmen) and I am sure she is a perfectly competent actress.
My mum watched Victoria and said she enjoyed it but I just couldn't bring myself to watch it.
