On ‘Love Actually,’ I met Hugh Grant, who is a relative: our great-grandmothers were sisters. He’d call me cousin and ruffle my hair. And it was brilliant working with David Tennant on ‘Doctor Who.’
As a doctor who took care of patients for 25 years, I saw the problems with America’s health care system every day.
I used to watch ‘Doctor Who’ as a child with William Hartnell and Pat Troughton in the black-and-white days, so being cast is brilliant.
I can go on for hours about how ‘Doctor Who’ is a portal fantasy writ across the stars, how the companions are falling down the rabbit hole over and over again forever, tumbling head over heels into mystery. Hours.
‘Doctor Who’ is one of those things that stays with you throughout your career, and I’m very happy with that.

I was really so excited when it came back on air and I saw all three of the actors who played ‘Doctor Who’ in the new version and they’ve all been absolutely brilliant in their own special way, as all the Doctors always are.

I think you can tell different types of stories within a ‘Doctor Who’ two-parter.
If you put a much older woman in ‘Doctor Who,’ they can identify with it. I think it’s quite an interesting concept, and if you remember things like ‘Grimm’s Fairytales,’ the older woman is often the villainess, often the terrifying figure – why I do not know, but often she is. I think it’s an idea to be exploited.

‘Doctor Who’ is not as literary as ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and ‘The Hobbit’ is – books have come out, but they are from the television episodes. So there is that difference… it’s more scholastic.
Filming ‘Doctor Who’ is so incredibly different to ‘Spooks.’ Near to the surface, there’s quite a silly atmosphere. A lot of the times, you’re on the verge of giggles because it’s so over the top.

There’s never been a doctor who served many patients who, despite their best efforts, did not lose some of them to death. But they understood that was part of life itself.

I’m really not an actor of any kind. I’ve always seen myself as an entertainer, someone who makes people laugh. That’s all I’ve ever wanted to do. ‘Doctor Who’ has always just been me, really.
I love ‘The Wire’. I can’t think of a television show that I think is superior to it in any way. I was obsessed with it from the moment it came on the air. I do also love ‘Doctor Who’ and ‘Get Smart’.

I’m an actor. If you had said to me before I started acting that I’d get two bites of the cherry – you would do things that people will remember forever like ‘The Brothers’ which I did in the ’70s and now ‘Doctor Who’ – I’d have been overjoyed and I still am.
I’m incredibly excited to be joining the ‘Doctor Who’ family. It’s such an extraordinary British institution, I couldn’t be prouder to call the TARDIS my home.

When I was nine, I found a copy of ‘Doctor Who: the Making of a Television Series’ in the school library. It had a picture of Peter Davison on the front, and it was a formative book for me. It explained all the different departments like the script, cameras, and sets and explained how a television show is put together.
It’s hard work, ‘Doctor Who,’ but let’s be frank about it, I’m fortunate to be rewarded in the ways that I am. I don’t just mean financially, I mean the nature of the part and everything that comes with it.
I love ‘Doctor Who’ as a big, popular, mainstream, accessible show.
In England, ‘Doctor Who’ has always been considered a children’s show, at least by children.

I like that totally mixed up kind of eclectic group of personal props and bits of costume and I think the fun of doing that is where I was very lucky with Doctor Who.

In an ideal world, ‘Doctor Who’ makes the whole nation eight years old, with that excitement and engagement and wide-eyedness.
I love a ‘Doctor Who’ cliffhanger.

I’m over the moon to be involved in the ‘Doctor Who’ Christmas special. I can’t quite believe it as it’s a part of the family tradition at the Jenkins household. I heard the news that I got the role on my 30th birthday and it was the best birthday present ever.
‘Doctor Who’ is really challenging and fulfilling on so many levels.

‘Doctor Who’ is the most original science-fiction television series ever made. It is also one of the longest-running television shows of all time.
The most watched programme on the BBC, after the news, is probably ‘Doctor Who.’ What has happened is that science fiction has been subsumed into modern literature. There are grandparents out there who speak Klingon, who are quite capable of holding down a job. No one would think twice now about a parallel universe.
