Georgia Moffett (born 25 December 1984) appeared as Jenny, the title character of the Doctor Who story The Doctor's Daughter. She has also done numerous audio jobs in various Doctor Who spin-off media: she voiced the roles of Cassie Rice for the animated Doctor Who serial Dreamland (using an American accent), Alice Ciprion in the Sixth Doctor adventure City of Spires, and Tanya Webster in the Big Finish Productions Doctor Who audio Red Dawn (opposite her father), as well as recording audio versions of two BBC Audio BBC Tenth Doctor Adventures novels and doing voiceover work for Big Finish's The Lost Stories.
She is the daughter of Peter Davison, who played the Fifth Doctor (1982- 84), and American actress Sandra Dickinson. Moffett began acting as a young teenager, and acted in numerous TV shows, often acting opposite her father. She was a regular on The Bill as Sam Nixon's troubled teen daughter Abi, who was featured in a number of major storylines.
In 2004 she met with Russell T Davies and the producers to ask to be considered for the role of Rose Tyler, but they decided not to allow her to audition, because she was too young. In 2008 she auditioned for the role of Robina Redmond in the episode The Unicorn and the Wasp, but Russell T Davies asked her to wait as he felt she would better suit the role of Jenny.
Since appearing on Doctor Who in 2008, Moffett has acted in the short-lived spinoff Spooks: Code Nine and made three TV guest appearances (in Casualty in 2008, Merlin in 2009, and a cameo in Thorne in 2010). In 2010, she landed the role of Emma in the BBC3 sitcom White Van Man, which was cancelled after two series. Also in 2010 she played a role in a one-act play, Hens, which ran for four performances at a fringe theatre in Hammersmith as part of a fringe festival. In 2012 she landed her first major theatre role, in What the Butler Saw (which her husband David Tennant acted in 17 years earlier), playing the sexy secretary who the main character tries to seduce. The role required her to wear only lingerie throughout many of her scenes, which Moffett described as scary but liberating. Rehearsals started in March and the play started previews in May. Unfortunately it was not a critical or commercial success and the play was cancelled due to poor sales in July, a month before it was scheduled to finish. In 2012 Moffat's father, Peter Davison, revealed that she had given up acting. In 2013, her close friend actor Christian Brassington announced that he and Moffett were writing a film script together. Also in 2013, she appeared as herself in The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot, written and directed by her father, which she also produced (credited as Georgia Tennant).
