Detailing the opportunity, she said: 'Every job is a world away from Doctor Who. That's why it's the dream part.

'You can never say "I'm typecast". You don't get typecast as a Time Lord. It's never going to regurgitate doing anything which is amazing.

'This will maybe seem a bit confusing. It's nothing like that'll be. I am an actor.'
