Of The Day Of The Doctor she had this to say: "I'm just looking forward to the fans being able to finally see it, because there is relentless questioning about what is going to happen and I can't say anything.

"It will be nice to be rid of the burden of that enormous secret. It's like a gift to the fans really so all in all I think it's pretty exciting. I never feel that anxious about returning because I'm friends with a lot of people and I've built some really good relationships. I always know it's going to be beautifully written.

Her attention then turned to the new Doctor. "I think it's brilliant [casting]. I've always really loved him and admired him. I think he's a brilliant actor, I think he's both absolutely terrifying and credible with comedy.

"I really like the fact that he's a bit older and I think it will open a whole new set of fans. I think it makes absolute sense. It's a really wise choice."
