Me again!

Having remained sanguine and even optimistic about the casting of Matt Smith as the eleventh Doctor from 2010 onwards, I find myself rather less enthusiastic about this report that has appeared on MSN, suggesting that Lily Allen could be the new assistant for the Steven Moffat era.



This is the sort of casting that plagued the latter years of the John Nathan-Turner era in the mid to late eighties. Still, it doesn’t appear on either the BBC News website or the Who website, so maybe it is just idle speculation.

(Can you tell I'm bored yet?).

Yeah, I think that's wild extrapolation from "We'd like someone like Billie Piper", myself.

I absolutely, categorically, emphatically cannot stand Lilly-Bloody-Allen.

This would be awful if true.....

It's just probably idle chatter. Still you know what they say about looose lips.

Oh yeah Lily Allen please - I like her! She really did her pop vids well, and has a great stage presence, as well as a bubbly perosnality, yet not without a serious, thoughtful side.

Hehe.

We seem to be destined to have almost diametrically opposed views on what constitutes good Dr Who!

Hehe it's not intentional. Anyway, I better reserve judgment until I see Lily Allen act (if she did get the role). I didn't have any particular objection to Martha - only complaint is unrelated to Dr Who (that Freema Agyeman appears in so many other stuff - and each time it makes me ask - could that be another Dr Who episode - for example when she appeared in Victorian London in Little Dorritt...)
