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.

I would love to see her on Doctor Who! I always thought she was one of the better actresses on Skins.
ReplyDeleteI would love it if Hannah joined Doctor Who. Cassie's my favorite character on Skins so I was really disappointed when they got a whole new cast for season three except for the girl that plays Effy.
ReplyDeleteI do prefer Tony, Sid & Maxxie but she was one of the better Skins characters and she did well with the material. I wouldn't be adverse to this casting at all.
ReplyDeleteI love Hannah.
ReplyDeleteShe would be a brilliant companion.
