'Doctor Who' role for Davison daughter

Peter Davison's daughter Georgia Moffett will play a key role in the upcoming fourth season of Doctor Who.

The show's producer Phil Collinson told Doctor Who Magazine about the decision to cast Moffett, whose father played the popular Time Lord in the classic series: "Fans might recognise that name... but that's not why we cast her. She's a very fine actor - in fact, she's been lined up for a very long time, since we auditioned Georgia for the Agatha Christie episode.

"But as soon as we saw her, we realised there was a much bigger and better part later on in the series... so Georgia kindly waited until the time was right. It's a role now one will ever forget!"

Davison recently returned to the role of the Fifth Doctor in the recent Children In Need mini-episode 'Time Crash', briefly sharing the Tardis with David Tennant's current incarnation of the Gallifreyan.
