DW - Doctor Who: Joanna Page to play 'long lost relative' of The Doctor
Gavin and Stacey star Joanna Page may be about to become the latest star of Doctor Who, if this article by the Daily Star is right.
The newspaper reports that Page has signed on to play a "long lost relative of the Time Lord in two episodes". There are precious few 'relatives' of The Doctor, so speculation is rife that Page may be signing on to play Susan Foreman, the companion and so-called granddaughter of the original Doctor, William Hartnell.
In the post-2005 series, The Doctor had some of his DNA stolen and used to create a female warrior who was named Jenny by Catherine Tate's character, Donna Noble. However, it's thought that this isn't the character in question, since Georgia Moffat would be capable of playing that role.
Since the current fifth series is in full swing, if Page is to make an appearance, it'll more than likely be in the two-part series finale. A show source has implied that her appearance might be a test for a long-term role as a companion on the show. If Page's character turns out to be Susan Foreman, that could result in a veritable nerdgasm as the new series connects to one of the oldest characters in Doctor Who's long history.
According to The Star's show source, they think that if Joanna's role works out, she could become a regular fixture in the TARDIS:
Joanna could be massive for the show.
She’s been offered two episodes and if that goes well the sky’s the limit.
She’ll start off as a long-lost relative of the Doctor but may then become a major player.
So, what do you think readers? Would a return of the Doctor's granddaughter be a good thing for the series?
TV: Doctor Who – The Hungry Earth
BBC One, Saturday, 6.15pm
Prod, dig and poke at someone long enough and they’ll eventually fight back. It turns out that planets respond in much the same way.
It’s the near future in a sleepy Welsh village and Nasreen (Meera Syal) and Tony are on the threshold of making (literally) groundbreaking scientific discoveries. Their mining equipment has dug further underground than ever before but something underneath the ground wasn’t ready to be disturbed and is making its way to the surface to intercept…
Fortunately the Doctor, Amy and Rory have made a slight detour – explaining why Miss Pond is in hotpants in a graveyard – and the Time Lord knows who’s lurking down below only too well.
It's a scary, church under siege, 'classic' Doctor Who story for the viewer but one thing’s for sure – it most definitely isn’t going to end well for the TARDIS crew...
The daleks arrive at Wembley Arena.
This October London will welcome Doctor Who Live! the touring stage show of the hit TV series to Wembley Arena before it heads across the UK for another 22 performances in 8 other cities including Sheffield, Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester, Nottingham, Cardiff, Liverpool and Belfast.
The current Dr Who, Matt Smith, his assistant Karen Gillan and their co-stars will not be appearing on stage but will feature in pre-recorded video scenes. The show's writer Stephen Moffat has confirmed the live show will include bucket loads of special effects, pyrotechnics and live music in the form of a full orchestra as well as what we hope will be giant replicas of favourite baddies, the Daleks, Cybermen and Oods.
The show will be in London on 8th-10th October and then touring until early November, a cast is yet to be announced. Other TV shows that will shortly appear on stage include Coronation Street Abridged Live!
