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.
Biggest problem is that she’s in Cambridge… And I was under the impression that she was waiting until she’d gotten her degree before acting again. Sounds like a baseless rumour, but then if I was an actress, I wouldn’t turn down being The Doctor’s companion. In fairness, critically, I’d say she’d be better than Georgia Moffett, Lily Allen and Kelly Brook, so at least they’re getting higher on the quality scale.
