I think Jennifer Saunders would be great in ‘Doctor Who.’
‘Doctor Who’ is where my love of science fiction and fantasy started. I was introduced to it when I was 8, and I’m still an avid viewer.
Music’s not like becoming a doctor, who can walk into a community and find people who need him.
But the calibre of actors that they attract to come and do the guest leads on ‘Doctor Who’ is fantastic. You weigh it up, and in this series alone, there’s Hugh Bonneville, Frances Barber, David Walliams. Toby Jones has done it.
In the next few years I’d love to play a female version of Doctor Who. I know exactly how I would play her – she would be crafty in a clever kind of way.
It’s a ‘Doctor Who’ budget. A BBC budget, although a very good one. But you know you can’t do dinosaurs endlessly for 45 minutes, so there has to be a big ‘other’ story going on.
I’m from New Orleans, and we have a Mardi Gras group called the Chewbacchus. It’s celebrating all things geeky: science fiction, fantasy, ‘Star Wars,’ ‘Doctor Who,’ ‘Men in Black,’ ‘Ghostbusters,’ everything.
‘Doctor Who’ rewrites your brain because at first when you watch it, you think, ‘That doesn’t make sense.’
