New Doctor Who Companion Announced
Well we haven’t even seen the first of the Special feature length episodes of Doctor Who to be aired this year, but already we know who is being cast as the companion for the second episode. Lindsey Duncan, who is currently playing Baroness Thatcher on BBC2, has been unveiled and will star opposite David Tennant as ‘Adelaide’, a clever and strong-willed woman who no doubt will make life more than a little interesting for the Doctor.
Duncan said: “I’m thrilled to be involved in Doctor Who. I’ve never done anything like this before and I’m really looking forward to working with David Tennant and the Doctor Who team.”
The second episode is being written by executive producer Russell T Davies and Phil Ford.
It is due to go into production in spring 2009 and will be screened on BBC1 later this year.
Davies said: “Lindsay is an incredibly talented actress and I’ve been an admirer of her work for some time.
“We are delighted to announce that she will be joining the team and playing the Doctor’s most strong-minded companion yet.”
