Mackie spoke to The Guardian after getting the role about bringing a unique energy to Bill.
“I turned up in T-shirt, jeans and some yellow boots and I felt out of my depth,” she said. “It was the Soho Hotel – so posh! [But] I knew I could bring her to life. She’s funny and geeky and vulnerable. There’s a goofiness to her and a big heart. She gets things wrong, she has a temper. I thought, ‘I know her. I could play her.’”
Series 10 of “Doctor Who” returns to BBC America on April 15, alongside the new spin-off “Class.” Watch the trailer below:
