The CyberKing speaks… in Doctor Who Magazine #404!

Dervla Kirwan, Miss Hartigan in The Next Doctor, talks exclusively about playing the beautiful and ruthless ‘lady in red’ in this month’s Doctor Who Magazine. So, about that frock then...? “In her very first scene, drab, matronly, grey dress, and then she sort of transforms into this vision of red!” laughs Dervla. “We don’t know how she did that really. We assume there’s some handy Cyberman with needlework skills and great make-up boxes!”
