Is this Who’s new companion?

Could Skins actress Hannah Murray join Matt Smith as the Doctor's sidekick in 2010?

drwhohmCould former Skins actress Hannah Murray become the new sidekick to Matt Smith’s Doctor Who?

That’s what The News of the World is suggesting. The two actors already appeared together in the play That Face.

Murray played Cassie in the first two seasons of Skins before the cast was overhauled for a new breed.

In that show she was a very convincing, if vulnerable, character.

Sitting side by side with Smith, it surely looks like the next series will be very youthful. Murray is only 19 years old.

She wouldn’t be the first Skins actor to appear in the Who-niverse. Joe Dempsie (Chris) appeared in episode 6 of the fourth series, “The Doctor’s Daughter.”

Skins has certainly proven a good springboard for its talented cast with Dev Patel (Anwar) riding high on the success of Slumdog Millionaire.

The next instalment of Who is expected in the UK at Easter while Smith will debut in 2010.

  1. I call BS as well, but I wouldn’t object to Hannah taking on the role – indeed, she’s a very good dramatic match for Matt Smith.

    Then again, they could always just give the fans what they’ve long wanted and cast Carey Mulligan instead 🙂

  2. I hope it’s true. She was a great actor in Skins, regardless of the attitude a few people have expressed here – her character was probably the most popular out of all those from the first two seasons.

  3. hannah would make a wonderful partner for matt ……. she is incredibly talented and can break /warm your heart with her acting skills.

    in fact, all of the skins cast are brilliant …. it’s one of the best shows to appear on our screens for years.
