Dhawan, who plays the Doctor\u2019s long-term nemesis the Master, praised Whittaker at a press screening her upcoming last episode, Doctor Who: Power of the Doctor<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cShe is the best actress I\u2019ve ever worked with and that\u2019s not just because of her acting ability, it\u2019s the fact that she is one hell of a company leader,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s really hard to explain it [but] any actors will understand this, because playing the Doctor is a huge responsibility. She\u2019s in every scene, she has so much dialogue that changes, and she welcomes \u2013 I\u2019ve just never seen it \u2013 she welcomes every actor, no matter how big or small their part is, with open arms.\u201d<\/p>\n He recalled being \u201cincredibly nervous\u201d when he first joined the cast, but Whittaker quickly made him feel at ease.<\/p>\n \u201cTo have someone knocking on your door, saying, \u2018Mate, get in my trailer!’\u201d Dhawan continued. \u201cI mean, I\u2019d worked with Jodie on an ITV show years ago and we got to know each other a bit, but on this I got to see this amazing human being who is just absolutely brilliant and people should know that, because obviously she\u2019s an amazing actress, but she is incredible. I couldn\u2019t be more proud to have done scenes with her.\u201d<\/p>\n The pair will face off one last time in The Power of the Doctor<\/a>, though Dhawan has already been confirmed for a Big Finish spin-off<\/a>.<\/p> Additional reporting by Morgan Jeffery.<\/em><\/p>\n Doctor Who is available to stream on\u00a0BBC iPlayer<\/a>\u00a0with episodes of the classic series also available on BritBox \u2013 you can sign up for a\u00a07-day free trial here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Check out more of our\u00a0Sci-Fi<\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0to see what\u2019s on tonight.<\/strong><\/p>\n The latest issue of Radio Times magazine is on sale now \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>subscribe now<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and get the next 12 issues for only \u00a31.\u00a0<\/strong>For more from the biggest stars in TV, listen to the\u00a0Radio Times View From My Sofa podcast<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/body><\/html>\n By Lidia Molina-Whyte Published: Wednesday, 19 October 2022 at 12:00 am If you\u2019re feeling a little emotional that Jodie Whittaker\u2019s tenure in Doctor Who is coming to an end, wait until you read what co-star Sacha Dhawan has said about working side by side with her.
