Who's The Doctor's New Friend?




The front runner for the role of the new companion in Doctor Who is Scottish actress Annabelle Reid. She has had, like Freema Ageyman, limited exposure on British Television in series such as Monarch of the Glen, Taggart, Dream Team and Rab C Nesbitt. She has though had extensive theatre work, primarily Shakespearean in Twelfth Night and Henry VIII.

It is thought that she may be introduced at the end of the Specials, and is to be a "non contemporary companion", most likely one from the past, and is probably called Lucy.

Of course, this, like every other piece of news right now, open to change and confirmation, but I thought you guys might like to know.

If I hear anything else, I'll let you know.

Thank you very much for sharing (and for mentioning on OG that we should come look here).

Your information is much appreciated.

Thanks for this new bit of news! I think it's interesting that she's been on Taggart when (as of his appearance on Top Gear) David Tennant has not. I really do love the idea of a non contemporary companion though. Looking forward to more bits of info as they come! Cheers!

Well, she has dark hair in the photo of her in the Tudor outfit. Maybe the blonde comes out of bottle and if she does get the role she will play it as a brunette. Eddie has found more pictures of her than I have when I tried googling with Annabelle Reid. All I got was Anne Reid who was in Curse of Fenric and Smith and Jones.
