Sarah Sutton quotes about
writing doctors stories
I don't know if you've ever tried writing a Doctor Who story, but it's a lot more difficult than it initially appears, especially if you've got more than one assistant.
theatre special television
I do still like television very much, but the theatre does really have something special about it.
fun worry legs
I enjoyed showing a bit more leg in the last few stories. It was good fun, but it can be quite sexist. But it doesnt worry me personally all that much.
teacher drama school
Before I got Doctor Who, I went to the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. I went back to take the final grade exam, which is the grade you have to take before you can take the teachers diploma.
fun ideas two
I'm not really a science-fiction fan, I quite like the idea of getting away from the science-fiction side of it, for two episodes. It was lovely, it was a super story and great fun.
doctors looks stuff
I often look at a lot of Doctor Who stuff that's about now, which no one has approached me about.
historical stories theme
I like the stories with the historical themes.
shows
What you don't see backstage is what really controls the show.

I found it a little bit stressful, because I wasn't used to working with Doctor Who. I got the impression I'd walked into the end of seven years and it was all a bit tense.
british-actress ripped scene
I think I must have too much to eat, we were doing a scene where we were crawling, and I ripped my trousers. I was very embarrassed. I was sown in, stitched in, quickly!
became british-actress develop gave playing plenty
Playing an alien gave me plenty of scope, and I was able to develop it once I became a member of the team.
british-actress stayed
I don't think I would have stayed for the second season if I hadn't been happy.

I enjoyed working with Peter, I was very pleased when I heard he was going to be the Doctor.
