Behind the Scenes of The Christmas Invasion (Part 40)
Excerpt from the Radio Times, 17-30 December 2005, interviews by Nick Griffiths
Prepare to see a different side of Jackie Tyler. The one-woman soap, all bleached hair and simmering libido, is turning over a new leaf. Sort of.
As Christmas trees attack and Santas turn bad, Jackie is on hand - and there's that handsome Doctor lying in bed in her flat, clad only in pyjamas. "I'm very proud of her, because she restrains herself from being a complete floozy," says actress Camille Coduri. "Instead she becomes quite nurturing. She tries to get things going, to look after people. She's very concerned, and there's a side of her that you've not seen before - she's less selfish, amazingly so. Because she's very self-centered, really."
Rose, her daughter, may have the time-travel/alien-battling stuff worked out but, as Coduri observes, "Jackie's still grappling with it. Also the Doctor has changed. She'd just got used to the other one [played by Christopher Eccleston], and suddenly..."
Jackie quite fancied the previous Doctor, didn't she? "She did. Very much. And she really fancies this one, as well. A lot!" Coduri elaborates: "I think both Rose and Jackie are in love with this man, because he's quite wonderful. He's the Wizard of Oz. And he's gorgeous and divine!"

Genuinely crying at work rn. They have thousands of old photos (from the 50s to the 90s) they asked me to scan (so they can create a digital archive). Today I found a photo from a 80s protest with a banner that says "FOR THE PALESTINIAN CHILDREN". It's been 40 years. It has been a lot more than that, actually. And still.

you know the drill, more reblogs equals more votes!
