In the 1996 Doctor Who movie Daphne played the role of Doctor Grace Holloway. Her strong portrayal as Grace was favorably recieved by fans and the chemistry between her and star Paul McGann was tauted as one the best in the show's history. Though there was consternation among some because she was the first character to romantically kiss the Doctor. He had been a rather asexual character when previously portrayed and this set a precedent for the more sexually charged nature of the new Doctor Who series that began in 2005, where the Doctor has now kissed multiple characters.

In 2004, Ashbrook traveled to the United Kindgom, which was later released on DVD in 2005, "Daphne Ashbrook in the UK". This DVD documentary regarded her involvement with Doctor Who. The trip also involved her working on one of the Doctor Who audio dramas, where she performed in the Big Finish Productions audio play The Next Life opposite Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor, but playing a different character named Perfection (this was the first time the two stars had worked together again since the 1996 telemovie). She has been featured at Doctor Who convention events both in the UK (most recently in 2010) & in the US (Gallifrey One 2011). Her adventures and interviews were chronicled in the DVD "Daphne Ashbrook - Whirled Tour 2010" (see below).
On the web she has been featured in extensive interviews on the Doctor Who podcasts "Doctor Who: DWO Whocast", "Doctor Who Podshock" and "The Happiness Patrol".

She is currently writing a book for Hirst Publishing, "Dead Woman Laughing".
