I'm deeply disappointed you don't remember her because you're such an outspoken fan of the Eccleston season of the show. But there haven't been many since.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Oh, you're right. I do remember her from the pig alien scene. As I recall, she seemed to have nice breasts (and a nice everything in general), but you could barely see her because it was so dark and they kept cutting away!

Wojo 2,453 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 She's only memorable because of her Torchwood stint. Otherwise her one off would have faded completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you probably mean east Asian, but there have been several south Asian actors on the show over the years. One of my favorites is Amara Khan, who played Rita in 6.11 "The God Complex." There was also Meera Syal, who was in the 5th season Silurian two-parter. Pieter Boelen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a shame; I liked his approach and enthusiasm to Doctor Who, even if it was sometimes a bit convoluted. 10 hours ago, Sweeping Strings said: Speaking of audio dramas, think I saw somewhere recently that ones with Jenny are planned. Yep, that was officially confirmed by the BBC. I've avoided audio books until now, but maybe it is time to reconsider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyO 62 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I spoke to Ben Foster on Facebook, to see if Murray is indeed leaving the show, only to discover that Ben hasn't been involved in Doctor Who since the end of series 9!

Naïve Old Fart 9,556 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 THE ELEVENTH HOUR, and VINCENT AND THE DOCTOR are still the best Smith stories. I came to appreciate his comic abilities (he always seemed to be self-deprecating) but, after Tennant's reign, I wasn't sad to see him go. Amy wasn't bad, but Clara was better. Rory was supercargo.

It's acknowledged by the writers and not just in an in-jokey sort of way. Tom Baker was pretty awesome in the role and a lot of his stuff is pretty solid, despite being rather soap-ish, which is basically pre-2005 Who anyway. #8 had awesome hair and despite being in a fairly crappy TV movie, he was a good Doctor.
