sofie_sanctuary and my friend Liga have both mentioned Nicola in a new six part family drama entitled Antony and Cleopatra. It is not an adaptation of the Shakespeare play Antony and Cleopatra but it is possible themes are similar. The 6 part 60 minute drama is about two older people who fall in love but whose family complications cause tangles. Nicola is a ( Read more... )

Ooh, that's good news! :D

I don't want her to be a guest star in DW... I want her to be the new companion! *pouts*

is it? Only if the part amounts to anything :P *Sigh* I am so cynical when it comes to the BBC.

I don't want her to be a guest star in DW... I want her to be the new companion!

DAMN YES.

Well, I was going to say 'hopefully her part won't be too small', and then I figured it was best to stay positive. ;) A little bit of Nicola is better than no Nicola at all.

Re: scrapbook: Yes, I have, but not entirely, which is why I didn't comment. You did an amazing job though, it looks great!!

(And squee you're using my icons!)

Positivity is good. I am so cyncial because I have this terrible habit of loving all of the obscure actors best. So exhausting after awhile.

I AM!

I think Dean Andrews is also going to be in this drama too - fandom collision, yay! I have no idea if their paths will cross though. ;)

I think we should all mob Stephan Moffat on twitter and get Nicola on new Doctor Who as a Series Seven guest star

Well that would be one way of getting me to watch Doctor Who! ;)

Wha! Mum asked me today if Ray was in anything new. LOL.

Did you listen to Robophobia? Nicola was great in it. Also, I have a feeling she likes Doctor Who :P

Lol! Did you ever see Marchlands (a 6 part supernatural drama with 'Ray' and Alex Kingston)? I thought it was very good.

I've still got to listen to Robophobia! I really must do that. ;)

Who's making it? Will it be on the Beeb or ITV?

Given how absolutely RUBBISH Moffat is at writing women, especially strong women, I do NOT want Nichola on DW under his tenure.

BBC. The press release is here. I couldn't find it earlier: http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2011/05_may/26/drama.shtml

lol I don't have a problem with Moffat's women so... but also she could be an alien and then gender wouldn't even have to come into it ;)

dweomeroflight January 8 2012, 09:03:39 UTC

Or be cast in one of the non Moffat written episodes...

persiflage_1 January 8 2012, 09:47:15 UTC

Thanks for the link.

Don't you bloody believe it! Gender *always* comes into it.
