Countdown to the 60th anniversary rewatch | 50th Anniversary Special: The Day Of The Doctor

Behind the Scenes of Day of the Doctor (Part 15)

Excerpt from the BBC Media Centre interview with Joanna Page

What’s it like being part of the 50th, one of the biggest years on the show?

It’s amazing being part of the 50th anniversary. I just remember getting an email asking if I’d play Queen Elizabeth I, which in itself I couldn’t believe because she’s so iconic, even in the history of Doctor Who. I’ve always wanted to be in Doctor Who and now to be in it and playing Queen Elizabeth I is absolutely fantastic, so exciting.

What was it like working Matt, David, Billie and Jenna?

It was quite scary working with Matt, David, Billie and Jenna because they’re iconic and they’re these major characters that I’ve watched and are part of Doctor Who history. It’s really funny acting with them because you look at them and they’re almost like cartoon characters because you see them so much and you’ve watched them and you believe them. It’s just been fascinating and working with the two Doctors is brilliant because it’s the same character, but seeing how the two boys just play them completely differently and how they work off each other, it’s really funny. After reading the script and then hearing it all in the read-through, it just all came to life and I thought, ‘Wow this is going to be fantastic’.

There’s a little bit of romance between Queen Elizabeth and the Tenth Doctor. What was is it like filming those scenes?

Filming the romantic scenes were quite difficult because my first day was on top of a mountain in Neath. It was absolutely freezing, it was blowing a gale and David, the Tenth Doctor and I, are having a picnic. So I’m lying across him and he probably couldn’t breathe, because I’ve just got this massive costume on, and he’s feeding me grapes as I’m just desperately shivering. You’ve got to try and play it romantic and relaxed, when actually you’re freezing cold. I think our lips were turning blue and I stopped feeling my hands. The next day, because it had been so cold with the wind my hands were bright red and all blistered because they were so chapped. So everyone is probably jealous, thinking she gets to kiss the Tenth Doctor and it’s all romantic, but it’s not; my lips were numb and my hands were chapped.

I think OG Gavin and Stacey era Joanna Page would make a great Magrat, but I'm not sure who would do it in the current day

I agree with the fan consensus that Miriam Margolyes would be a perfect Nanny Ogg, but I rarely see people suggest Adjoa Andoh for Granny Weatherwax who I think would be equally as great casting

ok so i have two theories for who this might be

if we're assuming a returning character not just an actor who was in a previous anniversary returning as a different character

1. Osgood

appeared in the 50th anniversary

we haven't seen her in ages and don't know what happened to her

if she's still working at unit, maybe just promoted since shirleys scientific advisor now, it would make sense that we'd see her

i need more osgate

2. Jo Grant

appeared in the 10th anniversary

rtd might be keeping up the pattern of returning classic cast members

worked for unit - could still have connections

has returned before in sja

is generally an icon and i'd love to see her interact with 15

i need more sarah jane references
