Cameron K McEwan

RTD has revealed that a second animated outing for The Doctor is coming soon starring Georgia Moffett and David Warner and there's some news of another 'special project'...
Published on May 25, 2009

Debuting in "Autumn," a new animated Doctor Who story, entitled Dreamland, will be hitting the small screen through the BBC's red button service and Children's BBC. There will be seven episodes comprising of approximately six minutes. Viewers may remember The Infinite Quest from 2007 which ran on the show Totally Doctor Who and was subsequently released on DVD.

Starring as The Doctor is David Tennant and he will be joined by: his onscreen offspring Georgia Moffett (The Doctor's Daughter); the voice of Bernice Summerfield, Lisa Bowerman (Survival); and the legendary David Warner (Tron, Time Bandits). Warner is also no stranger to Doctor Who having played the Time Lord himself in a 2003 audio play (reprising the role in 2008).

The writer for Dreamland is Phil Ford who is one of the few to pen stories for the triumvirate of Doctor Who, The Sarah Jane Adventures and Torchwood. His Who story, The Waters of Mars (due to be broadcast in November), was co-written with Russell T Davies. Directing the project is Who stalwart Gary Russell.

In this month's Doctor Who Magazine, RTD hints that a third special project might be on the way (David Tennant's appearance in The Sarah Jane Adventures being the first), he says: "... it would be nice to round things off with a Special Project 3... I can promise, it's worth waiting for!"

Jenny (Georgia) for next Doctor's Companion?

11 March 2009

Amongst huge speculation rife around the blogs and newsites of the internet the past couple of days is the identity of the 11th Doctor's Companion when actor Matt Smith takes over the role from David Tennant in 2010, for the fifth of the "new series" of Doctor Who.

Naturally, amongst the possible "contenders" is Jenny - the character that Georgia played in series four of Doctor Who.  Whilst there is no news from the BBC (and therefore official news) it's amusing to see who (no pun intended!) is in the running!

Digital Spy (amongst many others) has this to say...

Skins star Hannah Murray has been tipped to become Matt Smith's companion in the fifth series of Doctor Who.

Murray, who played Cassie in the first two series of the Channel 4 teen drama, is supposedly in secret talks with producers about the role, News Of The World reports.

A BBC insider said: "Hannah did some challenging stuff in Skins and they see her as an up-and-comer."

Other stars reportedly being considered for the role include Georgia Moffett, Lily Allen and Kelly Brook.

Russell T. Davies has confirmed that he does not want to "ruin anyone's chances" of being cast as the fifth series companion by using them in this year's specials.
