This is from the main site and the latest poll: Series five had some amazing guest stars in various roles throughout the series, though not all were met with the greatest of receptions. We have been asking for the last 24 hours which was your favourite, and here are the results. Ian McNeice received 1% of the votes as Churchill in Victory of the Daleks Helen McCrory received 2% of the votes as Rosanna in The Vampires Of Venice Meera Syal received 4% of the votes as Nasreen in The Hungry Earth/Cold Blood James Cordon received 8% of the votes as Craig in The Lodger Toby Jones received 10% of the votes as The Dreamlord in Amy's Choice Bill Nighy received 11% of the votes as Dr Black in Vincent and the Doctor Alex Kingston received 28% of the votes as River Song But proving to be the most popular guest star of the latest series, taking 36% of the total votes, is Tony Curran who starred as Vincent Van Goch in Vincent and the Doctor Do you agree with the results? Who was your favourite guest star? There were others on the list but they received no votes |

There was no contest really, Tony Curran's performance was inspired. I'd go so far to say the best DW guest of all time.

Yes I do agree that Tony Currans was a really good guest star, but in my opinion I still love Alex Kingston as River Song  |

I loved Tony Curran but I went with Meera Syal as Nasreen. Id love to have had her as a full time companion and I hope she makes a return some day

I went for Bill Nighy in the poll purely for his Van Gogh speech and the fact that he is a living god in my eyes  Tony Curran was amazing also thou so I'm pleased he won. I think Vincent is one of my favourite episodes ever if I'm honest. Good to see River coming in second too, she's probably my fav companion since the reboot |
One day I shall come back. Yes, I shall come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine. |

This was a tough one to call. One of the things the Moff got right was the choice of guest stars (I don't know if he was directly responsible but one would assume that as show runner he'd have a sizeable input/veto). My own personal favourite was Toby Jones - but I'm biased because I think he is amazing. I am a little surprised that Sophie Okonedo didn't get a nod as I rather liked her Liz Ten. But all told I did like all of the guest stars!

My respect for Toby Jones went up when I found out he was Dobby  |

The Bill Nighy fans will be up in arms at my next statement but I think Toby Jones is probably the hottest property to have made a guest star appearance in s.5. He is a fabulous actor and (although I think his work commitments and the Dream Lord appearance has screwed it) I think he would be a fabulous Doctor.

I would pretty much agree with much of those results. Sophie Okenedo should have got a mention though. She was great as Liz 10

Tony Curran was good, but for me I think my favourite was Meera Syal as Nasreen. I really hope we get to see that character return. I thought she worked really well with The Doctor and Amy and would love it if she was full time on the show
