10 Great TV Shows Starring The Doctor Who Cast
4. Alex Kingston - A Discovery Of Witches
For this entry, let's make the jump from sci-fi to fantasy.
Alex Kingston's River Song was a delightful part of the Doctor Who canon. The Doctor's wife was charming, fun and a ball of energy, even if her continuity was a little confusing at times. Thus, it's no surprise to see Kingston nailing her parts outside Whoville.
Based on the All Souls Trilogy, this show follows Diana Bishop, a hesitant witch who discovers (you don't say) a mysterious manuscript in the Bodleian Library. Despite the rivalry between their people, she and a vampire named Matthew work together to uncover the book's secrets.
If you love a cheeky bit of witchcraft, great chemistry between leads, an imaginative world and stylish visuals, then you'll have a blast with this show. Also, don't forget that the ever-charming Alex Kingston takes on the role of the lead's aunt.
If any of this sounds like fun to you and you haven't jumped on the train already, then now is the time to do so, as the show's third season is currently underway as you read this article. So, go and have some fun with the occult!
