23 Actors You Totally Forgot Were In Doctor Who

18. Shirley Henderson

"Let's all throw things at Myrtle because she can't feel it!" Well, seeing as you're just a paving slab, you probably can't! It's safe to say that Shirley Henderson - best known for her portrayal of Moaning Myrtle in the Harry Potter series - left a lasting impression on the Doctor Who mythology when she made her ill-fated guest appearance in Series 2's equally ill-fated Love & Monsters. Her character, Ursula Blake, met a rather sticky end (to put it lightly!) when she was mercilessly killed by the Abzorbaloff before having her head permanently restored in a piece of concrete. As a result, she was indirectly responsible for one of the most cringeworthy moments in Doctor Who history when her ever devoted beau, Elton Pope, remarked that they've still got "a bit of a love life". There aren't enough retcon pills in the world.
