30 Days of Who meme, day 26: favorite Who actress

[nonelvis]

I very nearly went with Alex Kingston here, and considered Lalla Ward and Mary Tamm as well, but honestly, I think Catherine Tate is the winner.



I'm American, so had no idea who Catherine Tate was when she turned up at the end of "Doomsday"; it wasn't until fandom exploded with ZOMG NOT THE COMEDIAN that I realized she was a big deal. But I loved her in TRB and was excited to see her in S4 – in addition to her terrific comedy sensibilities, she brought a lot of subtlety and emotion to a character who could have just been comic relief in the hands of someone less skilled. And while Donna may have gotten a shitty ending, Tate's performance that series ensured I'll give anything she's in a try.
