Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

Alex Kingston’s new novel The Ruby’s Curse is out today (read our review here) and she chatted with Paul Simpson about playing the part, and writing the character she’s lived with for 13 or more years

Were there things from that original two-parter that you’d do slightly differently now, if you’d known that she was going to be recurring as opposed to a guest character?

This is so interesting that you say this because this is why Steven never tells us what he’s doing or he didn’t – he never used to tell us what actually was going on.

I remember him saying to me, about six weeks before we filmed the big reveal about who River actually was to Rory and Amy and the Doctor, that he knew it all along but he didn’t want me or any of us to know because it might change our performances. We would have that at the back of our minds all the time. I really applaud him for that.
