Tooth And Claw Info and Pauline Collins Interview

April 8, 2006 - Staff@seenituk

The BBC Press Office have released details of Tooth And Claw, the second

episode of the upcoming series.

Programme Info

The Doctor and Rose travel back to the year 1879

when an encounter in the Scottish Highlands with Queen Victoria and a

band of Warrior Monks reveals a deadly trap, dating back centuries.

Perhaps the local legends about a werewolf could really be

true.

David Tennant plays the Doctor, Billie Piper plays Rose

Tyler, Pauline Collins plays Queen Victoria, Tom Smith plays The Host,

Derek Riddell plays Sir Robert and Michelle Duncan plays Lady Isobel.

Pauline Collins Interview

As well as the

programme synopsis here is a lengthy look at the episode which includes

an interview with Pauline Collins who plays Queen Victoria in the

episode.

Discussing her reasons for accepting the role

Pauline says “It’s wonderfully written and that’s what drew me to

it”

“Queen Victoria is a great character and one

of the things that Russell [T Davies] has done is to give her a little

bit more humour and humanity than perhaps she’s known for. Certainly in

Mrs Brown,with Judi Dench, you saw the humane side of Queen Victoria,

but I think this is great. And she’s also a person of great authority

which she manages with humour as well.”

The feature also

offers a glimpse into the challenges of acting against the CGI werewolf

seen on the recent trailer.

“We were very lucky in that

there were two performance artists who demonstrated for us the sort of

movements that the werewolf would do.

Occasionally, we had to literally work to a green screen and a dot on the horizon, and one of

the problems about not knowing exactly what you’re acting against is to

do too much.

We were reminded by the director to remember

perhaps how you would be in that situation, and one of the things that

fear does is to almost paralyse you.”
