Sarah Lancashire, best known for roles in Coronation Street, Clocking Off and Rose & Maloney, ensures the new series of Doctor Who starts with a bang.
Sarah guest stars as Miss Foster, an enigmatic and powerful businesswoman, in Episode One of Series 4 of the BAFTA Award winning drama. The new series is set to TX on Saturday April 5th at 6.20pm on BBC One.
The first episode of the eagerly awaited new series will witness Donna determined to find The Doctor again – even if it means braving the villainous Miss Foster and her hordes of sinister Adipose. But when the alien threat escalates out of control, can Donna find her Time Lord, before the march of the Adipose begins?
Sarah Lancashire comments "I'm absolutely thrilled to be in Doctor Who. It's a brilliant episode and I'm looking forward to taking the Time Lord on."
"Miss Foster is, essentially, a nanny, a guardian, to some rather unusual children," explained Sarah in an interview for the latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine.
"I see her as a slightly warped Mary Poppins. She's quite austere. She's a strong woman. When I first read the script, I thought, oh, well, of course she's a baddie... but the more I read it, I thought, 'No, she's doing what she's doing for legitimate reasons.'"
"You can't blame her at all. Hers is perfectly reasonable behaviour.
Sarah Lancashire was speaking at the BBC Doctor Who Series 4 Press Launch and to Benjamin Cook of Doctor Who Magazine Issue 394.
