Doctor Who: 10 More Actresses Who Could Play The 12th Doctor

6. Zawe Ashton

Her Companion: Charlotte Richie Those of you who have seen Fresh Meat will know that this pairing really works. Richie plays a girl completely obsessed with getting Ashton's Vod to like her. So she kind of already is her companion. Since I don't have a casting crew I'm going to go with the 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' principle. Her Master: Katie McGrath Another young, beautiful 29 year old from the new wave of the British acting dynasty. McGrath proved her 'pantomime villain salt' as eeevil Morgana Pendragon in Merlin. She is so reminiscent of Anthony Ainley in her black robes that the audience would buy right away that she and he were the same person. Her Doctor I absolutely love Zawe Ashton, like Olivia Coleman I'd seen her in so many things before I realized that all of her characters were played by the same person. She is a stunningly good actress, able to be boring and realistic in the Misfits 'Gorilla Episode' as well as completely wonderfully weird as Vod in Fresh Meat. Many of the Doctors came to the role after a career mainly in comedy, the comedic aspects of the episodes being such integral parts. With this in mind Ashton would fit well into the role. I'm going a little on faith but she's given me so many reasons to be faithful.
