Jenny, portrayed by Georgia Tennant (credited as Georgia Moffett, her maiden name), is a fictional character in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. She appeared in the episode "The Doctor's Daughter", originally broadcast 10 May 2008. Jenny is the daughter[1] of the series protagonist the Doctor, a product of altered DNA extracted from a tissue sample of his tenth incarnation's hand. The character was created by writer Stephen Greenhorn.
Georgia Tennant (then-Moffett) was cast as Jenny after auditioning for a smaller part in the episode "The Unicorn and the Wasp", and impressing the series producers.[2] The character was generally well received by reviewers, with many speculating that she would return to the franchise.[3][4][5][6] Moffett also expressed an interest in this possibility.[7]
The fictional Doctor's daughter was played by a real Doctor's daughter; actress Georgia Moffett (her father's legal surname) is the daughter of actor Peter Davison, who portrayed the Doctor's fifth incarnation from 1981 to 1984. Moffett met David Tennant – playing the tenth incarnation of the Doctor – on the set; they began a relationship, and married in 2011, when she changed her name to Georgia Tennant.
Progenation. Reproduction from a single organism. Means one parent is biological mother and father. You take a sample of diploid cells, split them into haploids, then recombine them in a different arrangement and grow. Very quickly, apparently.
