Actress Jemma Powell to play Jacqueline Hill

From www.doctorwhonews.net

Actress Jemma Powell will play Jacqueline Hill in the 50th Anniversary drama An Adventure in Space and Time along with Jamie Glover as William Russell

The current line up for An Adventure in Space and Time are:

William Hartnell – David Bradley
Verity Lambert – Jessica Raine
Sydney Newman – Brian Cox
Waris Hussein – Sacha Dhawan
William Russell – Jamie Glover
Jacqueline Hill – Jemma Powell

In the meantime BabelColour has released The Hartnell Adventures in Colour.

Fifty years ago the TARDIS materialised on TV. The most miraculous of adventures confined to 405 lines of grey.

But now the doorway to colour has been pushed ajar and each of us can peek through the crack at the miracles of the Universe freed from the shadows of black and white.

    Emma was recently voted Britain’s Greatest Female Role Model in a magazine poll earlier this year, easily beating actress Keira Knightley and model Kate Moss. She has also been chosen to be an ambassador for Chanel’s fashion range, often appearing on the red carpet and as a cover girl in its lavish outfits.

    When is “An adventure in time and space” being aired?
    Can anyone confirm that ITV showed their own Sc/fy serial; “Emerald Soup” on the same day that Doc.Who showed for the first time?
    Needless to say it didn’t last!!! What prog could go head to head with the renowned ‘Doctor’?

      It’s not Brian Cox, the physicist, who you’re probably thinking of.

      Yeah, I thought it was that Brian Cox too, but Boo Boo himself on this site said it is not that Brian Cox.

      It is just clips, no complete serials from the 60s are being colourised. He has however done the first episode of The Mind Of Evil which only excited in black and white.
