Millie Gibson on filming for Doctor Who:
“What’s so great about Doctor Who is when we are acting against monsters. Nine times out of ten they make the monsters, so we have something to act off which is so, so helpful. But there is an episode in season one of my and Ncuti’s era, where we are literally crying hysterically to a tennis ball and it was just, like, the weirdest thing ever. You kind of have to cut out from reality to get into that mindset. I’m really excited for the rest of the episodes to come out and for people to see it all unfold.”
Read all this and more in the latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine.
This celebratory issue also includes a 16-page supplement, an exclusive art card, a specially commissioned diorama featuring figures from the recent series and a four-hour long Sixth Doctor audio drama for every reader.
