Doctor Who's Karen Gillan is to play 1960s model Jean Shrimpton. The project, with a working title We'll Take Manhattan, will be Gillan's first major drama role since she was cast as the Doctor's companion Amy Pond in 2009.

"We'll Take Manhattan reveals how a young, visionary photographer refused to conform and insisted on using the unconventional model Jean Shrimpton on an important photo shoot for British Vogue, inadvertently defining the style of the 1960s along the way," the BBC said. The drama will focus on a 1962 Vogue photo shoot in New York.

Adrianne Palicki, 27, who was chosen for the hotly contested role, was shown running down the street and climbing over cars in Los Angeles as she filmed an action sequence.

She is starring in an updated television series, playing the role made famous by Lynda Carter in the 1970s. Unlike the blue hot pants worn by Carter, she donned a less revealing outfit.
