For the record, Jenna Coleman has not left – and is not leaving – Doctor Who. Well, not just yet. “My contract came up last year and I decided that because I’d only done one series with Peter [Capaldi], I wanted a bit more time to explore that relationship. Also, he’s the Gandalf of Doctor Who! He seems to have that mythical thing about him, and we’re great buddies behind the scenes.” Talking about where her character, Clara, might go next is virtually impossible, she says. “You pick up a script and get a sniff of where things are going, but any speculation Peter and I have, the story never goes in that direction.” Favourite current show: Inside No 9 – I love that kind of dark satire. Reality TV show you’d appear on: I’ve been asked to do a couple, but turned them down – much to my grandmother’s disappointment. Fantasy TV job Ruth Wilson’s Jane Eyre or Zoe Kazan’s role in Olive Kitteridge. I seem to like really volatile parts.” – by Megan Conner for The Observer BAFTA TV Special [x]
