Nicholas Briggs Interview

An interview has now been officially published with Nicholas Briggs. The interview is all about his time in Doctor Who, and acting alongside 10th Doctor David Tennant, and companion for the first and second series, Billie Piper. He talks about the role of the 11th Doctor, and also small pranks that he'd played with his Dalek voice.

"Billie asked me to speak down the phone as a Dalek down the phone to some of her friends." Nick told the public. When he said this, they asked if she had got him to phone up her ex - husband, Chris Evans. He simply replied by saying "no". The following day, the newspaper's headlines was Billie Tells Chris He's Exterminated.

"On the plus side, they put my age as thirty five." Said Nick, who is in fact fourty seven! Then he talks about his time with David Tennant. "I met him and told him he should go for the role [of the Doctor]. He said, 'Oh, that's an interesting idea'. In fact, he already had the part but he wasn't allowed to tell anyone!"

He confirmed that he hadn't yet met the 11th Doctor, portrayed by the twenty six year old actor, Matt Smith. When asked if the Daleks were returning, he said: "You get shot at dawn if you reveal secrets, but could you have a series of Doctor Who without the Daleks?"
