Matt Smith, perhaps the best Doctor Who yet, returns.
Forty seconds into the video I was taken by surprise, seeing Lily Cole, who was such a standout with another doctor, in Terry Gilliam’s dazzling, but frustrating and overly long, The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus. I’m sure those who keep closer watch on Who have known for ages that Cole would be appearing this season, but it’s news to me. Who boy, with Karen Gillan as Amy Pond, that puts two tall redheads on the show at the same time.
The career of Oscar-nominated actress Carey Mulligan was kicked into high gear by a single impressive appearance on Doctor Who. Carey had the featured role in one of the finest and most enjoyable TV shows I have ever seen, playing Sally Sparrow in the unforgettable episode called Blink.
