[edit] Collaboration with Doctor Who cast members
Prior to her appearance as Lucy Saxon in the closing episodes of the 2007 series of Doctor Who, Moen had appeared opposite actor David Tennant, (the tenth incarnation of The Doctor), on stage in a 2005 production of Look Back in Anger [2] [3].
In the 2006 television series Tripping Over, Moen starred as Tamsin opposite Paul McGann, the actor who portrayed the Eighth Doctor in the one-off 1996 telemovie. Moen also performed on stage in 2003 with David Troughton, son of actor Patrick Troughton, who played the second incarnation of the The Doctor; Moen played Maria Celeste in The Hinge of the World, the daughter to Troughton's Galileo.[4] In Hotel Babylon, Moen has appeared with John Barrowman who plays Captain Jack Harkness both in Doctor Who and in its spin-off series Torchwood.
[edit] Hotel Babylon, (series three)
Alexandra plays Emily James, "Head of PR" in the UK BBC One TV Drama Hotel Babylon, (series three). She tricks the staff into thinking she's a journalist before revealing she is actually the head of public relations. Emily James is a well-connected, upper class "English Rose" (much to the disgust of the pretentious head receptionist Anna Thornton-Wilton), privately educated young woman who comes from the highest pedigree within the hotel industry. Her father is an hotelier of international renown and prestige, yet Emily wants to find her own feet within this environment. But there are hints that Emily is a little off the rails and a bit of a wild child.
