“I’ve just had a really random thought, and I don’t know how you feel,” Whittaker recalls of the voicemail she sent Chibnall. “But I’ve got my costume with me.

You represent the values, the show, the hopes of the viewers young and old, while you’re in the part. And here she was again, showing that understanding."
