I’ve been able to locate, what I think is Gugu’s first project, at least according to her IMDB. Gugu guest starred on Holby City’s 7th season as a pregnant lady called Colette Hill. You can watch the episode (Thanks tumblr)and check out the screencaptures below.
I’ve updated the gallery with what a lot consider Gugu’s first big break when she guest starred in Doctor Who in 2007 as Tish Jones, the sister of The Doctor’s companion then; Martha Jones. I’ve updated the gallery with stills, screencaptures and the promotional picture of her appearance, enjoy!

Sometimes last year, we got an email telling us that Gugu was part of a campaign on Indiegogo to make a short movie called After the Storm. We donated and have been waiting for a while to get any update since the last email we got was 6 months ago promising more updates but we got nothing. A few weeks ago I got a tip from one of our followers telling me the movie was posted online, but we still got no official link from the campaign and we decided to wait a bit. Today I decided to just go ahead and post the production stills we found online so check them out:
Hey everyone, so sorry as I’ve had these done for months but I forgot to upload them. I’ve updated the gallery with over 400 high quality screencaptures of Gugu as Esme Manucharian in Miss Sloane.
I’ve updated the gallery with some new released shoots of Gugu during her press day round up in Los Angeles a couple of weeks ago.

I’ve updated the gallery with photos of Gugu during the press conference of ‘Beauty & the Beast’ in Los Angeles yesterday.
She’s one of Oprah’s favourite actresses, has the Streep seal of approval and is starring alongside Emma Watson and Ewan McGregor in Beauty and the Beast. Meet Gugu Mbatha-Raw, an Oxford girl done very, very good.
You don’t forget your first . At least Gugu Mbatha-Raw won’t. The woman she now calls her ‘fairy godmother’ – but had never met at the time – left her a voicemail four years ago, when Gugu was in a New York cab on her way to JFK.
‘When I listened to the message, it was the weirdest thing,’ she says, succumbing to a fit of giggles. ‘Because at that time I was doing Oprah’s meditation experience with Deepak Chopra, where they email you a short meditation each day. Then suddenly I get this lovely rich voice saying, “Hello, this is Oprah” – and it sounded just like the opening of the meditation app. I thought I’d pressed the wrong button by mistake.’
I’ve updated the gallery with 80 photos of Gugu attending the Los Angeles premiere of ‘Beauty and the Beast’. She wore an amazing Oscar de la Renta dress the premiere. Thanks to Maria from andysamberg.org for some of those.
She’s in New York a week before Christmas—a stopover to see friends, have lunch with a director, and check out Othello, the Off-Broadway show no one else can manage to get tickets to. She has a good in: The guy who plays Othello, David Oyelowo, stars opposite her in J. J. Abrams’s new Cloverfield movie, out this fall. Mbatha-Raw is also in one of the few reboots Abrams isn’t responsible for: Beauty and the Beast (March 17), in which she plays a French maid turned singing and dancing feather duster. Portraying a Swiffer is a nice break from the dark (and moving) roles she’s taken recently, including a victim of gun violence in Miss Sloane and a terminally ill bisexual woman who becomes trapped in a computer simulation on Black Mirror. “I love tragedy, but you can’t do it all the time—it’s way too draining,” she says.
