I have no idea who this is. So, cool, hope it's a good episode...

I have no idea who this is.

June Whitfield - a longtime UK comedy actress, from the Carry On films and lots of 70s-onward sitcoms. Now she's most often seen advertising those "if you're over 50 you're going to die soon, so give us your money to save for your loved ones so we can skim the interest" plans.

Heh! Okay, thanks.

Here's more http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/profiles/june_whitfield.shtml She was a famous radio actress, too, before she moved over to tv.

Could she be the companion in the third special as well? As RTD has stated that the third special, the Doctors companion is someone in their 50's-60's.

no, because Lindsey Duncan's the 3rd special companion.

and June Whitfield has still been doing radio - she was on the News Huddlines with Roy Hudd a few years back...

"Absolutely Fabulous", people. Come on!

(Though as a massive Tony Hancock fan the first thing that comes to my mind is her playing the Nurse in "The Blood Doner".)

opening this thread I though it about be about the Brig making an apperance, he is maybe the one person RTDs has not bought in Doctor Who (he did for SJA but not Doctor Who)

Her playing Netty would be cool, however it could prove tricky for those who have not read the book.

I'm still upset about the Brigadier not being in the new series yet. No sooner does he "catch up" with all the Doctors by doing Big Finish audios with McGann and Colin Baker than he loses out again by not being able to appear with Eccleston and now, Tennant...

 

[The]

Yeah, I'm with you. I would have preferred The Brig over Wilf...

I really think they should bring him back, even if its only once, I am geninuely surprised that RTDs has not made it happen, look at all the other stuff he has done, hell the Brig appeared in SJA, why is he not in Who?
