A lot of fans seem to agree that she's perfect for the part, and while she's young, she wouldn't be the youngest actress to take a companion role on Doctor Who by a long shot.
There's actually so much positive feedback around Hannah Murray, I fully expect a bit of a backlash when the role inevitably goes to someone a bit more established, even though he/she may be perfectly competent.
Like most of the folks here, I've only seen Hannah in Skins, but I agree that she does have a lovely 'alien-ness' to her, much like Lalla Ward's 2nd Romana.
Here's hoping, if Moffat does cast her, he steers away from early 21st century London and gives us a proper alien/future companion for a change. (Considering that the last one was Turlough in 1984, yeah... it's been a while)

In my dreams, they resurrect Omar from The Wire and send him on adventures in time and space. Smart, hilarious, unflappable, casually violent sociopath = best companion EVER!!

She, her whining, and her scary teef need to stay away from my Doctor Who, whoever he may be.

Oh and the new doctor looks like a pussy aswell!!

Really, after Martha Jones and the (at first grating but ultimately quite grand) Donna Noble we get some fetus from "Skins"?
Davies was a huge fan of Skins (he goes on and on about it in "The Writer's Tale") but everything I've seen of it looks like a low-rent "Gossip Girl". Or kiddie porn.

That's usually how he makes his judgments, it seems.

@Plague: Are we having a beef now? A feud. You're so cute.

I love how you think being condescending will somehow make you seem witty.
But I guess it does let you avoid the fact that you constantly talk about stuff you know nothing about.

As having watched both season of Skins, I would be qualified to comment on it.
You've probably seen a BBC blurb.
So really, why don't you pull your head out and just admit you don't know what you are talking about?
And please. You really need better material than saying I'm an 8th grader who eats cheetos in a "lair". Talk about just worn out.
03/12/09
I'm sorry about the cheetos and 8th grader cracks. Clearly you are more evolved and balanced in your opinions. I'm saying Pizza-flavored combos and a junior in high school. On the slow track.

"everything I've seen of it" sure does imply that you didn't watch it, maybe an episode at best?
So how much have you watched?
But good work on changing the subject back to me when you get called out.
See- PrezPez called you a liar. I'm calling you an idiot.
Yes. It takes us sad (and bored at work) little boys to keep pointing out that you talk out your ass. On every subject, it seems.
Really. Work on the material. If you stopped watching Larry The Cable Guy it might help you a bit.
03/12/09
This seems to happen to you a lot.
03/12/09
Idiot? And I need new material? Such a silly little boy you are, precious in your need to prove me wrong and point out the foibles in others. You're adorable.
03/12/09
Okay, you watched the first season. Mea culpa. I don't know if I really believe you, since you tend to give very verbose opinions on stuff you haven't seen, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
But your childish condescension really makes you look like a tool. I know it makes you feel all big and important on the internet and stuff, but since your "cutdowns" are just so not funny or creative in the slightest, I guess that has to be your refuge when outmatched.
I'm sure you can go on like this all day, since you have to have the last word, but I'm honestly feeling stupider just reading your repetitive BS that you'll get to have it.

Twice.
But at least Peeps was a worthy adversary.

Many of the series 1-2 kids on skins have some serious chops. I think Murray could be great.

To be fair, that's a publicity shot from "Skins," where she played a girl with anorexia.

Thats what I thought when Tennant took over the role, I can't imagine anyone else doing the part justice now but after seeing those photos with Matt and the TARDIS then yeah I'll give him a chance, he looks the part.
something tells me his Doctor will be unconventional and insecure
Doctor Who : Twilight begins in 2010

Still, most of what makes the Doctor interesting is in the interpretation, which is pretty well impossible to tell from something like this.

A video clip - voice is good and he's got frenetic hand movements. Not attractive at all though.

It's all gonna be in the haircut, though.
