> [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](#): > > Okay, > IQ: Did you play Sapphie on AbFab and the Doctor’s companion in _Doctor Who and the Curse of Fatal Death_? Yes, I am Julia Sawalha. All five of the Ab Fab ladies have names that start with J. I was thinking you all would eat up DQs trying to guess which one, but you squeaked by with one to go. Interestingly enough, Ab Fab castmate Joanna Lumley took a turn as the Doctor in DW & TFD. Good show **Prof**! I hand the alphabet jar to you. ---
