Game of Thrones' Maisie Williams joins Doctor Who



The BBC hasn't announced which part she'll play, but lead writer Steven Moffat says: "She is going to challenge the Doctor in very unexpected ways.
"This time he might just be out of his depth, and we know Maisie is going to give him exactly the right sort of hell."

She says she's looking forward to filming the show as "it's such a big and important part of British culture".
"I can't wait to meet the cast and crew and start filming, especially as we'll be shooting not too far from my home town," she says.



Bristol-born Maisie has played Arya Stark in the fantasy drama Game of Thrones since 2011.
Arya is a young girl from a noble family, who brandishes a sword and is often mistaken for a boy.
She's only 17, but she's a three-time Screen Actors Guild Awards nominee. In February she was given a Shooting Star Award at the Berlin Film Festival.

So will she be replacing Clara? Or will she be the new Missy?

Or just another bit part character?

Well,

• Jenna Coleman is still in it
• So I'm presuming she's still playing the companion

As for Maisie,

• I've got no idea
• It could be fun

I can't imagine she'll be able to juggle GOT and Doctor Who, so I'd assume it will be a one off appearance.

It's a good choice, she's a fantastic actress
