Zoë Wanamaker (Madame Hooch) will voice the character of Lady Cassandra, a creature whose aim in life was to have a completely wrinkle-free face, in the new 'Doctor Who' series.

The first episode airs tonight on BBC1, however Zoë's character makes an appearance in episode two which will air next Saturday (April the 2nd) on BBC1 on at 7PM.

The BBC Press Office released a preview for episode two entitled 'The End of the World'.

Quote:

It's the year Five Billion, and the Doctor and Rose arrive on Platform One to journey through time. The Sun is about to expand and swallow the Earth but, amongst the alien races gathering to watch, a murderer is at work. Who is controlling the mysterious and deadly spiders? Christopher Eccleston is The Doctor and Billie Piper is Rose. Zoe Wanamaker is the voice of Lady Cassandra.

The visual effects producer for the series, Will Cohen, said the following about the character in 'Digit Magazine'.

Quote:

Cohen also describes his favourite CG character: “The character is played by Zoe Wannamaker. We shot Zoe delivering her lines, and then recreated the CG character with all the facial expressions based on her.” The upshot is ... well, like a flattened version of Zoë.

I saw the first Doctor Who last night, and I actually liked it, Im pleased that although they have modernised it they have managed to keep some of its orginal 'cheesiness'.

Cant wait for the next episode, Zoe has the coolest voice!!!

loony 4 ........ · 03-28-2005, 05:27 AM

She's described as the last human, but where's the rest of her? I loved the fact that the creator said he based her on Hollywood women who are obsessed with having plastic surgery and end up looking like freaks, because of it.

I saw that, and it seemed to link up with the completely un founded enemies from Dr Who well. Anti plastic is completely unrealistic it has to be said. I dont think Zoe Wannamakers voice fitted very well... never mind, im still a huge fan.
Did you know, shes dyslexic.?.. she is btw if you hadnt gathered.
