00:00the part of the doctor will be played by Colin Baker the sixth actor to play the
00:07role but the doctor's latest reincarnation doesn't seem to meet with
00:10the complete approval of his young companion Perry
00:13well Nicola you look as they've got a real handful on your hands don't you
00:19with the new doctor who yes absolutely I the new doctor is a complete and utter
00:24shock I think to Perry and I think if she'd met Colin so to speak first she
00:29would have not bothered to go off in the TARDIS at all turn down the job yeah
00:34let's recap shall we for the benefit of our viewers who perhaps haven't caught up
00:38with it all the old doctor who is dead isn't he I must correct you first of all
00:42the old doctor old doctor he's not called doctor who no it's doctor who ah that's
00:49on his name there you see you've learned something now haven't you absolutely but
00:52I can't understand why they brought you back looking like that would you suggest
00:56it's an alternative well someone suave and and charismatic and I mean I can't
01:02even look at you this morning so blindingly bright for those without color
01:06televisions what is it orange and yellow and stripes and spots I think even
01:10people without color televisions can see these colors I know Nicola knew she was
01:17going to be involved in the doctor who series well when you were a little girl
01:20didn't you you in America used to think I'm going to play the part
01:27well yes I used to watch it and think that would be a wonderful job you know it
01:31was just one of those things it the whole thing is is it's amazing that this time
01:35last year I was in drama school plodding through the plays and and now I've just
01:38completed a season and it's it's it is quite stunning really but it completely
01:43takes over your life doesn't it I don't have it afraid
01:47that you're going to be absolutely wrapped up in it for years to come and
01:51not be able to get out of it I don't think I'm gonna be wrapped up for years to
01:55come don't you um no I right now there's so much for me to learn that I feel it's
02:01it's a great experience it's a great vehicle for me what about you Colin what do
02:05you feel about the laptop for years to come at the moment I'm enjoying it so much
02:09that I I'm not even bothering to think about that because if you can't enjoy a
02:13job while you're doing it because you're worrying what's going to happen
02:15afterwards then it's you sort of grind to hold how do you how do you view the
02:21fact that you following a very popular doctor and that he's now gone and you're
02:26having to take over from him I don't actually think that there's much point in
02:31worrying about that each one has followed somebody good before them I mean all all
02:36my predecessors have put their own seemingly indelible stamp on the part I
02:42just hope that mine follows on the tradition you actually suit the part you
02:47know that I'm listening to you now you're very sanguine and relaxed and happy and
02:51optimistic about the whole thing you suit the clothes you're wearing actually oh
02:54now after what you said a little earlier about you're hoping to see someone
02:56suave and sophisticated I think I should be offended but I don't be offended by that
03:00at all because I think the opposite
