Doctor Who 2005 Cast: Where Are They Now?

12. Florence Hoath

Doctor Who Nancy The Empty Child
BBC Studios

Florence Hoath only has a single Doctor Who credit to her name, but luckily for her, it's one of the finest stories in the entire show.

Series 1's The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances is a classic for many reasons - chiefly, the iconic and quite terrifying gas mask zombies - and Hoath's confident performance as Nancy only elevates it, with her character going on one hell of an emotional rollercoaster over the course of the two episodes.

However, despite her clear talent, Hoath is no longer acting.

She does have other credits aside from Doctor Who - Agatha Christie's Marple, Doctors, and the 2008 mini-series Lost In Austen, where she starred alongside River Song actress Alex Kingston - but she hasn't appeared onscreen in over a decade.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
