I'd like to do some more classical work if I do some more theatre.

There are generations who watch Doctor Who together.

I would like to direct. What goes on behind stage is very interesting.

Doctor Who is like any long-running series in that the cast tend to look to the star to set the general tone. Rehearsals and filming could be a lot of fun.

I often look at a lot of Doctor Who stuff that's about now, which no one has approached me about.

Before I got Doctor Who, I went to the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. I went back to take the final grade exam, which is the grade you have to take before you can take the teachers diploma.

I went to ballet school for nine years, and there was an agent for the whole school who happened to be there visiting one of the performances. She suggested an audition.
