Who is Jennifer Hennessy?

Hennessy played Jude in The Office, a man-hating shop-assistant named Julie in Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps, and even appeared as a vet in Pulling. More recently you may have spotted her playing Emily Cratchit in BBC1’s Dickensian. Oh, and this is not her first time in Doctor Who. In series three episode Gridlock she played Valerie, the wife of Ardal O’Hanlon’s feline humanoid Thomas Kincade Brannigan.

Stephanie Hyam as Heather

Who is Heather?

Wet Dalek Lady. Well, at least that’s what we know her as because a) she looks like she really needs a towel, and b) she materialised into the series 10 trailer shouting Dalek catchphrase “exterminate!”. She’ll be appearing in the first episode of the series, The Pilot – the same episode the old tinpot nemeses of The Doctor will appear.
