Add season 2 of Doctor Who to your watchlist to your watchlist
The story sees our time travellers dropping into the Scottish Highlands in 1879, meeting Queen Victoria en route to Balmoral and, of course, encountering the werewolf introduced on the previous page. “I have to say, when I saw the episode, I was genuinely scared!” admits Collins.
Although she has no regrets about not taking up the opportunity, the chance to appear in the series for a second time was a dream come true. “Russell T Davies is a brilliant writer. What he’s done is to create a show with really broad appeal that will go down in TV history. It’s an amazing feat.”
Another amazing feat was negotiating the royal regalia during filming: “The most challenging part of playing Queen Victoria was the wonderful but very heavy costume,” says Collins. “There were so many layers to the skirts that it made getting about quite tricky. I felt like I was carrying several small children around with me all the time.”
And as for the Doctor, in Pauline Collins’s opinion, David Tennant is the best Time Lord of them all. “David’s Doctor has a darker side to him, an unpredictability,” she says. “You imagine he could take the Doctor to dark places. As Queen Victoria, I don’t really like the Doctor because of this. I don’t know where he’s come from or where he’s really going and it rubs me up the wrong way. As myself, though, I think he’s the best Doctor so far.’
