no baggage

TV I know I've been wrong about this kind of thing before (Laurence Fox) but the suggestion that former Skins actress Hannah Murray is to the new Doctor Who companion, Matt Smith's plus one, just sounds right. I know that the source (News of the World) has also been wrong more times than it has been right, but the production team including Moffat are all big Skins fans (see Russell T Davies's diary, The Writer's Tale) so will already be aware of her, she's about the right age, not a household name yet (so, like Smith, comes with no baggage) and is apparently very good indeed.
