I’ve met two or three people who became astrophysicists because of Zoe, and that’s quite a thing.
Sophie Aldred, who played Seventh Doctor companion Ace:
When I think about being 24 and let loose on one of the most-loved programmes on TV... It gave me a lot of confidence.
Carole Ann Ford, who played the Doctor’s granddaughter Susan:
I really would like to meet Jodie Whittaker. What would I say to her? ‘Hello grandma!’
