New Doctor Who Series
- Thread starter Bouncy Castle
- Start date
Call the Midwife actress Jessica Raine has apparently won a role in Doctor Who.
Raine will play a character named Emma Grayling on the sci-fi drama, according to her CV at acting agency Gordon & French.
Her episode is seemingly titled 'Phantoms of the Hex' and will be helmed by Primeval director Jamie Payne, who also worked with Raine on Call the Midwife.
In addition to her role as nurse Jenny Lee on the BBC's hit period drama, Raine has appeared in 2012 Daniel Radcliffe film horror The Woman in Black, as well as episodes of Robin Hood and Garrow's Law.
It was recently confirmed that the first episode of Doctor Who's seventh series - to be screened on August 14 at the BFI Southbank in London - will be titled 'Asylum of the Daleks'.
Other guest stars confirmed for the new episodes include Dougray Scott (My Week with Marilyn), Ben Browder (Farscape), Rupert Graves (Sherlock), David Bradley (Harry Potter) and Mark Williams (Being Human).
Ooooh. Ben Browder!

David Bradley has revealed new details about his role on Doctor Who.
The Harry Potter actor will appear in the sci-fi drama's seventh series, as first announced in February.
"He is a space pirate," Bradley told the Warwick University podcast of his character Solomon.
"We've modelled [him] on a well-known nightclub owner with long hair. He has lots of scars [and] he wears black leather."
Bradley - who has also appeared on Game of Thrones and Our Friends in the North - went on to describe Solomon as "like an old rocker".
"He... runs a ship the size of Canada," said the 70-year-old. "He has two giant robots who are a bit rusty."
Other guest stars confirmed for the next series of Doctor Who include Dame Diana Rigg (The Avengers), her daughter Rachael Stirling (Snow White and the Huntsman), Liam Cunningham (Game of Thrones), David Warner (The Omen), Jessica Raine (Call the Midwife) and Ben Browder (Farscape).
Doctor Who will return to BBC One in August.

I was just musing what an episode written by Sir Terry would be like. I reckon he could do dark, scary, and 'humanity' pretty well. 
Regarding the new series, it will be shown while many of us are at the Con in Birmingham. Should we all pile into someone's room to watch it or does the hotel have a communal tv lounge we could hijack? :think:

I don't, honest. I have a crap memory.
Steven Moffat has once again sounded off on that whole David Yates-wants-to-do-a-Doctor-Who-movie-but-we-won't-let-him saga, and the Who showrunner offered a dire warning: Doing a Doctor Who movie with a rebooted continuity and a different Doctor that's NOT associated with the BBC TV show would "destroy" the franchise.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Doctor Who and Sherlock showrunner Steven Moffat once again found himself on the very touchy-feely subject of Harry Potter director David Yates' interest in making a Doctor Who movie that has nothing to do with the BBC series.
Steven Moffat told EW:
There isn't a film. That was all some weird fantasy going on somewhere. Look, we hopefully will do a Doctor Who film someday. It will be absolutely run by the Doctor Who production office in Cardiff. It will feature the same Doctor as on television. It will not be a rebooted continuity. All of that would be insane. So that whole proposal was not true, did not happen. I can say that with authority because, as far as the BBC is concerned, I'm the voice of Doctor Who. So if I say it, it's true. The BBC own Doctor Who and, for the moment, I run it for them. So I can assure you definitively that was all nonsense — not the idea of making a film, we'd love to make a film, but the idea of a rebooted continuity, a different Doctor. That's writing the book on how to destroy a franchise. You don't behave like that with it. Not ever.
However, he added this little interesting tidbit:
I don't think [David Yates] was ever signed to it. I never signed him, so he's not. But I think he's [expressed] an interest in doing it and he's a very fine director and I think he'd certainly be someone that would be on the list for directing such a project. I'm a big fan of his. But the project as he describes it would not happen. It was all a bit more off the cuff than it seemed to be.
