Georgia Moffett to be new companion?

[Si Hunt]

Is there likely to be any truth in this? What would we think?

Former Doctor Who star Peter Davison's daughter Georgia Moffett is reportedly in the running to play the Time Lord's new companion.

Moffet's casting for a key part in the upcoming fourth season was announced in December, but the Daily Star claims that she may become a regular in the Tardis for the fifth season in 2010

However, according to the report she will have to fend off a challenge from 23-year-old actress Felicity Jones for the coveted companion role. Jones, who will also feature in the next season of Doctor Who in an episode revolving around Agatha Christie, is best known for her parts in The Worst Witch and Cape Wrath, alongside her role as Emma Grundy in long-running radio soap The Archers.

"Several names are in the frame," a source told the tabloid, "but Georgia and Felicity are currently on top of the shortlist - both have their merits."

I'm still holding out for Liza Tarbuck.

I reckon this story is as reliable as Imagen Bickford- Smith for new comapanion after Underworld. Gets her some nice publicity, doesn't it?

Si xx

[Larry]

to be honest even if this story dose turn out to be true I can't reall comment as I don't know that much about Georgie Moffett.

[Alex]

I'd only seen her briefly in that sitcom she did with her Father, so had to do a bit of google image searching to refresh my memory.



And being a shallow, shallow man, she's got my vote already.

Edit: I've changed my mind after remembering who Felicity Jones is.

[Dirk Gently]

I'm sure she'd get Dave Tudor's vote as well.

[Dave Tudor]

Well, you know who I'm still holding out for.

Seriously, though, it's a shame that they're talking about another new companion,as it just undermines Freema Agyeman's contribution to the series. I know she's coming back, but already it's as if she's not being given a chance. Maybe she might not continue after the next series, but I for one would like to see her in 'Doctor Who' for a while to come yet.

Anyway, as Si said, I don't think this can be counted a very reliable story - let's face it, for non-stories, the Star is the one paper which is worse than the Sun!!

I only know two things about Georgia Moffett - she was in "Red Dawn" and she mentioned in an interview that she hates thongs. It's not much to base a judgement on but it makes me doubt her.

[Stuart Wallis]

Look, we're supposed to have Donna, Martha, Rose, Sarah Jane and Jack coming back this season, never mind who's going to be in the specials next year. 1. We have more than enough companions to be getting on with for the time being, 2. It's too soon to be looking that far ahead. Can't the Star worry about this sort of thing nearer the time, or are they just that desperate for a filler?

[P-Bal]

I want Dame Kellie Bright.

Me too. Thongs are awesome.

[Pip Madeley]

Me too. Thongs are awesome.

You sure about that?

[Si Hunt]

I know a song called Georgia. No, I really do.

Si.

[Dave Tudor]

I know two songs with 'Georgia' in the title.

What, the ultra-violent 1983 John Milius movie, featuring Patrick Swayze!?

and she mentioned in an interview that she hates thongs.

Oh, I've gone right off her.

[Zbigniev Hamson]

You sure about that?

Absolutely. That photo is also awesome. What's even more awesome is that I made you look up that photo on Google

Unless you happened to already have it saved for some reason, but the fact that you've just revealed that would also be awesome. See? Thongs are awesome

[Pip Madeley]

What's even more awesome is that I made you look up that photo on Google

The power of suggestion!

[Dave Tudor]

Four awesomes in one post...? Your name isn't 'Tulu', by any chance is it...?

[Zbigniev Hamson]

It was deliberate. I was trying to emphasise how awesme thongs are in their awesomeness. I have no idea who/what Tulu might be though. Is he/she/it awesome?

[Dave Tudor]

He is awesome personified. Cool and awesome, in fact.

[Pip Madeley]

But he could do with a thesaurus.

[Antony Cox]

Or any sort of dinosuar.

[Pip Madeley]

You could do with a spell checker.

[Antony Cox]

Youwer riyte, theere.

[Pip Madeley]

West Country accent?

[Antony Cox]

Oo-arrr!
