From Outpost Gallifrey, regarding a possible returning character in Series 5.



Quoted directly from the forum:

I met Catherine Tate last night and took the opportunity to ask her about Dr who....

I told she was considered by fans to be the best Companion of the New who if not the Best ever.

She said the feedback was 'overwhelming' and she had read some of what was said online about her.

then i asked if she would ever return and hers the big one.....she said that Stephen Moffat has spoken to her about it and she would be 'very interested' in reprising the role.

She is such a nice woman i am still in awe today because it was unbelievable


Unconfirmed, obviously, but that would be really cool! Here's a linkie to the thread in question - you'll need to be a member of the forum to read it, though.

as much as I'd love to believe this is true, I highly doubt it. Mostly because I'm sure Moffat wants to make his mark on DW, and start fresh. He only ever references his own previous episodes, and insists on creating new love interests for The Doctor even when Rose is around for goodness sakes!

Nope, unfortunately...I honestly think we won't see any of the peeps from JE in DW again, except Jack...but only because he created him.

You're going to Comic-Con, right? Maybe this is something you could ask! Not that you'd get an answer. *grins* And I believe Cap'n Jack is an RTD creation - Moffat just wrote about him.

yes I am, and if I can get up the nerve that is a question I wanted to ask...though of course an answer is highly unlikely, heh.

And with Jack I meant specifically in regards to creating him on screen. I know he was RTD's idea, but gave Moffat the go ahead in introducing him. And obviously always wanted Moffat to touch on the 2 lost years thing...which is what I could see him bringing the character back to Who for.
