To be honest, I don’t think there’s any other show like ‘Doctor Who’ at all.

There's not much TV these days where you really get that element of surprise. There are so many spoilers all the time.

I like playing the social convention. If you're in a period drama, there's always something dancing underneath the surface as a human - but then you always have to conform to the social conventions around you, and those two things get to be juxtaposed against each other. You're being human, but you're trapped within the social convention of the time.

Every day is different, there's no day that's the same.

I was really lucky for the friends that I had and loved every minute of it. I don't think I was a geek, but I loved the studies and we had a really good theater company at our school.

If I'm with a group of people, I'm okay, but actually I'm quite a nervous person if I'm just one-to-one with somebody.

I like period drama because everyone is so restrained, but they have all these emotions raging underneath.
