BBC America’s 2017 Comic Con panel for the iconic science fiction series Doctor Who featured the Twelfth Doctor (Peter Capaldi) as well as Matt Lucas, Michelle Gomez, Pearl Mackie, writer/actor Mark Gatiss, and showrunner Steven Moffat. The panel was a farewell to Peter Capaldi’s time as the Doctor, and following the packed presentation the cast participated in roundtable interviews to discuss their roles in the critically acclaimed series.
Matt Lucas (‘Nardole’) and Michelle Gomez (‘Missy’) teamed up to talk about their time on Doctor Who, working with director Rachel Talalay, and life on the Doctor Who set.
Doctor Who Michelle Gomez and Matt Lucas Interview:
Did you have as much fun on set as it looked like? Michelle, as Missy you’re so flamboyant and interesting. Did that carry over when the camera was off?
Michelle Gomez: “There’s not…it’s pretty fast, isn’t it? We really race along. There’s not much time for much more than the job at hand. But of course it helps if you enjoy each other. There has to be a sense of fun and freedom. If you’re too locked into it and you’re thinking about it too much, for me that doesn’t work. So, I need to know that I’m in a safe place and that I’m with actors that I trust and admire. And then you have a springboard into bringing some fun to it, really.”
Matt Lucas: “I found you do more coverage on this show than you do on a lot of other TV. I think just because this show has a bit more permanence, a bit more reach. So, although it’s on TV, the filming of it feels a bit of a hybrid between TV and cinema. If you were doing a more conventional British TV drama that wasn’t sci fi, traditionally – I know Netflix and HBO have changed kind of how things are shot – but traditionally you’d go we do the master and the mid and the close and swap. Whereas this seems to have a lot more…I find scenes take longer to shoot. You probably get through less pages a day. However, you do have to commit quite early on in the process to what you’re going to do, you know? Even though you can spend quite a lot of time filming a scene, you have to hurry up and start.”
Michelle Gomez: “You have to get on with it.”
Matt Lucas: “You have to get on with it. You have to just kind of go, ‘That scene’s fun. Let’s do that.’ But I like to carry on improvising through the day just to try to keep it fresh, as well.
But yeah, I was very lucky. It’s the most dedicated crew I’ve ever worked with, in terms of doing a year in a very cold, wet place. The warmth and the smiles from the people we work with make a huge difference, both on the screen and off. Also, there’s quite a nice thing which is every three or four weeks, you get some new people come. You do two episodes in five weeks. So, yeah, every two and a half weeks some new cast members come and you get to meet them and hang out with them. Sometimes you already know them. But I had never met Michelle before. But, obviously, I’d seen her work. I knew you were coming; I was told quite early on that you were coming back, so I was quite excited about that.”
We don’t talk much about directors on television but Rachel Talalay has been a really big part of this era of Doctor Who. Can you talk about her?
Matt Lucas: “I’m related to her, by coincidence.”
Michelle Gomez: “Well, she sort of brings the cinema element, in a way. She brings a lot of dignity actually because she gives you the space. She’s very generous as a director so at the beginning of the day, she’ll really talk out and flesh out as to what that day’s going to look like and what you as a character want to achieve on that day. She’s wonderful. She’s a class act.
Missy wouldn’t be Missy if it hadn’t been for Rachel at the beginning. Peter, Rachel, and I all started together in that first month and I’m very, very grateful for her. She gave me my confidence.”
Matt Lucas: “I’m waiting for someone to give her a big movie to direct now. I think she’s proved that she’s ready to do that again.”
Michelle Gomez: “She does it on a shoestring. There’s not a lot of money over there. And she makes it on time, and what she achieves is phenomenal. The end product looks incredibly expensive – and it’s not. It’s sticky-back plastic and a lot of imagination.”
Matt Lucas: “She should be directing Star Wars. She’s that good. I know they often don’t have women directors doing sci-fi in Hollywood; it’s not really a thing. But, it should be because she’s one of the best directors I’ve ever worked with. She’s fantastic.”

Do you think the Master becoming Missy and being very well accepted and really an exciting character, do you think that helped pave the way for a woman to play the Doctor?
Michelle Gomez: “I don’t know. Maybe? It was a big shift, I guess, going from a male Master to a female Master. I’m kind of sad that we’re still talking about that today. It should just be regardless of sex, whoever’s doing the best job, you know? So, I don’t know. I think, like me, I was in the right place at the right time and it clicked and it works. And for Jodie, it’s her time now. Regardless of the fact that she’s a woman, I think she’s going to be a phenomenal new Doctor. I’m excited.”
How did you find out about the new Doctor?
Michelle Gomez: “Same as you, after Wimbledon.”
Matt Lucas: “I knew it was going to be a woman because I was told. I didn’t want to know who. I knew some names…I knew about some names. I knew the names that were being talked about that were on the list. I knew it was a woman, but that was it.”
Be sure to tune in and check out the Doctor Who: Twice Upon A Time 2017 Christmas special airing on Christmas day on BBC America.
The Doctor Who: Twice Upon A Time Plot: The magical final chapter of the Twelfth Doctor’s (Capaldi) journey sees the Time Lord team up with his former self, the first ever Doctor (David Bradley) and a returning Bill Potts (Pearl Mackie), for one last adventure.
Two Doctors stranded in an Arctic snowscape, refusing to face regeneration. Enchanted glass people, stealing their victims from frozen time. And a World War One captain destined to die on the battlefield, but taken from the trenches to play his part in the Doctor’s story.
An uplifting new tale about the power of hope in humanity’s darkest hours, Twice Upon A Time marks the end of an era. But as the Doctor must face his past to decide his future, his journey is only just beginning…
Twice Upon A Time is written by Steven Moffat, directed by Rachel Talalay, and executive produced by Brian Minchin. The 60-minute special guest stars Mark Gatiss as The Captain and Nikki Amuka-Bird as the voice of the glass woman, and will see Peter Capaldi’s Doctor regenerate into the Thirteenth Doctor (Jodie Whittaker).
Hulu and BBC One have unveiled the first official trailer for Hard Sun, a post-apocalyptic drama created by Neil Cross (Luther). The six-part one-hour series stars Jim Sturgess as Detective Chief Inspector Charlie Hicks and Agyness Deyn as Detective Inspector Elaine Renko. BBC One will premiere the crime drama on January 6, 2018. Hulu will debut the series beginning on March 7, 2018.
Euston Films produced Hard Sun and Brian Kirk (Game of Thrones, Great Expectations) served as the lead director. Hugh Warren (Thirteen, Call The Midwife) was involved as a producer, and Kate Harwood for Euston Films and Elizabeth Kilgarriff for BBC One executive produced.
“I am very excited to be playing Hicks in this wonderful project. To work with Neil’s fantastic writing is a great opportunity and I hope we are going to create an amazing experience for our audience,” said Sturgess.
“As soon as I read the first episode I was hooked. I’m such a fan of both Neil and Brian’s work, it’s an honour to join the Hard Sun team,” added Dean.
Describing the series, Neil Cross stated, “Imagine the world you see when you look out your window…except it’s been given a death sentence. This isn’t science fiction. This is the real world. There’s no hero to come save us; no contingency plan. We’ve got five years. This is the world of Hard Sun… and the world of Elaine Renko and Robert Hicks.
What’s it like, trying to keep order, trying to enforce the law in a city that, day by day, slips closer to certain destruction? How do you get up in the morning? How do you get out of bed and leave your family and go out there, putting your own life at risk? And what about the predators? What about the murderers, the rapists, the thieves? What about the psychopaths, the religious nuts, the cult leaders, the serial killers? Who among them would fear a prison sentence, in a world like this? Who among them would fear legal consequences? What does a life sentence even mean, any more? What’s the point of justice in the face of Armageddon?
I’ve had Renko and Hicks and their world rattling round my head for a while now. I’m incredibly happy that, like me, they’ve found their home at the BBC. I can’t wait for you to meet them.”
The Plot: Jim Sturgess (One Day, The Way Back) and Agyness Deyn (Sunset Song) play detectives Robert Hicks and Elaine Renko, partners and enemies in contemporary London, who seek to enforce the law and protect their loved ones in a world that every day slips closer to certain destruction.
Robert Hicks is a family man and a great, committed copper. He’s also profoundly corrupt. Elaine Renko is difficult and damaged… and utterly incorruptible. Hicks and Renko stand on different ends of the social and moral spectrum. They also seriously distrust one other – and for good reason. But they must somehow learn to work together if they’re going to survive until the end of the world.
Episode one finds Renko and Hicks stumbling across a government file that changes everything.

“Following its success at last year’s Sundance Film Festival where it received a Special Jury Award, it was paramount to us that The Yellow Birds and its profound message reach a wider audience. Saban’s dynamic team of professionals and their enthusiasm for the film makes them the ideal companion for Cinelou. There’s a great synergy between the two companies and a meaningful film at the center of it that we are all very excited about,” added Cinelou Films’ Mark Canton and Courtney Solomon.
The Plot:The Yellow Birds follows two young soldiers, Bartle (Ehrenreich) and Murph (Sheridan), who navigate the terrors of the Iraq war under the command of the older, troubled Sergeant Sterling. All the while, Bartle is haunted by a promise he made to Murph’s mother before their deployment.
