We’ve had several fans enquire if that is Freema in the BBC1 advert for a future Omid Djalili Show. Apparently they will do a Doctor Who sketch next month with Omid as a “Dalek”.
Sorry, we’ve confirmed Freema is not on the show.
Update: Confusion reigns as fan soffmills points out Freema is listed in Radio Times. So we’re double-checking to find out what’s really going on.
The final word: Freema will indeed appear on The Omid Djalili Show on Saturday 1st December. This was filmed awhile back so apologies for the incorrect information from our contacts who were not updated!
The Omid Djalili Show - Series 1, Episode 3
Saturday 1st December: 9:40pm - 10:10pm on BBC1
A mixture of stand-up comedy and sketches from the multi-award winning comedian, Omid Djalili. Omid talks about the environment and interfering Iranians. Sketches include another instructional video from Steve ‘the Dragon’ Thompson on ‘How to Find Love’ and the Wannabe Actor tries to impress Doctor Who actress Freema Agyeman.

I must need new glasses then. Either that or the person impersonating her is her identical twin, lol!
I’m 99.9% sure that is her in the advert but I suspect they may simply be cutting in a scene from Doctor Who, from their own footage. Freema isn’t actually appearing in the show herself. That or she has an amazing lookalike.
That’s a good point Classified Machine. It’s very possible they are using some other footage. But unless she’s been keeping it a secret, no-one who should know is aware of her working with them.
It still would be fun to find out if there was an impersonator out there. I’ve seen some decent Billie Piper impersonators, Freema should have one too!
Maybe it’s Adeola Oshodi!
Ah yes, it’s those parallel dimension, alternate reality
and identical cousins that get us every time
yes she is, omid himself said she was in it in a recent interveiw, to prove it here: http://www.radiotimes.com/ListingsServlet?event=10&channelId=92& programmeId=70071066&jspLocation=/jsp/prog_details_fullpage.jsp
Thanks for that soffmills.
We are perplexed as to why we received incorrect information and are double-checking with them.
ok no prob be awful if we missed it coz we didnt think she was in it
I think many of us would watch it anyway as he’s rather funny
But still it’s very strange we got incorrect information and in this case I’d love to be wrong.
update:
Well the bad news is Freema doesn’t have a Doppelgänger.
The good news however is that she will indeed be on the show 1st December!
Thanks for everyone’s patience while we sorted that out.
