A time traveling story worth of 'Dr. Who' is happening in real life.

The Daily Mail is reporting that David Tennant, the 10th Doctor in the long-running British sci-fi series, is marrying Georgia Moffett, who is the daughter of Peter Davison, the 5th incarnation of the Doctor. Not only that, she played Tennant's daughter in a 2008 episode of the show.

Tennant began playing the doctor in 2005 and stepped down from the role in 2010, to be replaced by Matt Smith.

An actor of giant repute in the UK, Tennant also played Barty Crouch, Jr. in 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.'

Davison, another acting giant in the UK, played the Doctor from 1981-1984. Moffett appeared in the BBC Three show 'Spooks: Code 9' in 2008.

BBC soap EastEnders has scored a hat-trick of prizes at the Birmingham Black International Film Festival's Music, Video and Screen Awards (MVSAs). The Walford serial was named 'Best UK Drama' with a black or ethnic cast at the ceremony, which is the festival's flagship event each year. Meanwhile, Tiana Benjamin won the 'Best UK Actress' award for her role as Chelsea Fox on the programme. She beat off competition from Rhea Bailey, who has had roles in Crossroads and Waterloo Road, as well as ex-Doctor Who star Freema Agyeman and Spooks: Code 9 cast member Lorraine Burroughs. Speaking about the accolade, Benjamin told the soap's official website: "I'm really grateful to get this recognition, and thank you to all those who have voted, it's much appreciated." Meanwhile, Rudolph Walker (Patrick (more)...

MI5 agents are an industrious and resilient bunch - none more so than a particular young recruit who shot to prominence in Spooks: Code 9. Reformed criminal Jez Cook was snapped up to serve his country in 2013, a year after the Olympic Games were subjected to a devastating nuclear attack that threw England into turmoil. After tackling more bombs, terrorists and moles, Jez has now been plunged back in time for his latest mission - to infiltrate the 2009 series of The X Factor. And his first appearance was on last Saturday's show. A quick look at his Code 9 file, which features comments from his acting alter ego Heshima Thompson, shows that Jez has previously operated as part of Amy Winehouse's band. Presumably, Thames House must have a narcotics wing in operation. But his experience as a backing singer to someone with such massive exposure must have stood (more)...

X Factor hopeful Heshima Thompson has already achieved success as an actor and singer. Thompson, 22, who appeared on Saturday's auditions show, has TV credits including Spooks: Code 9, The Bill, Judge John Deed and Prime Suspect. He has performed as a backing singer for Amy Winehouse and even attended the Grammys with the 'Rehab' star. The Londoner's Facebook page also claims that he will be (more)...

Former Doctor Who star Georgia Moffett has landed a permanent role in Casualty, according to a report. The 24-year-old actress will play a junior doctor on the BBC One medical drama from September, The Sun claims. Moffett has previously appeared in a number of other British TV shows, including The Bill, Where The Heart Is and Spooks: Code 9. Her one-episode Doctor Who part saw her introduced as The Doctor's daughter Jenny and also led to a romance with the show's lead actor David (more)...

The fate of futuristic spinoff Spooks: Code 9 has yet to be decided following the conclusion of the first series last week. Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy, the show's executive producer Karen Wilson confirmed: "We [Kudos] are still waiting to hear from the BBC about a second series. I would hope we would know within the next couple of weeks." Wilson revealed that the majority of the cast are already contracted for another run and said she is hopeful of a return after the manner in which the first series (more)...

Spooks: Code 9 star Georgia Moffett has labelled the show's futuristic plot "perfectly plausible". Referring to the premise that a nuclear bomb devastated London in 2012, the actress told Digital Spy that the series "doesn't seem that far from reality. It's perfectly plausible that something like that could happen". "We've seen it happen in loads of countries on smaller scales and larger scales," Moffett continued. "I think in this country, (more)...

Georgia Moffett has revealed that she was punched in the face for real during the filming of Spooks: Code 9 - and was "pleased" by the experience. The young actress, who plays psychology student Kylie in the futuristic show, told Digital Spy: "I got punched in the face! It was my fault though, because I was getting all like 'I wonder what it's like to be punched in the face?' "Then after about two hours of shooting this scene I forgot to make eye contact with the guy, which is disastrous, and we misjudged where each other was and he just went [bang] at full pelt in my face." Moffett, (more)...
