RadioTimes.com<\/a>, Greenidge shared memories of shooting her first episode opposite Gatwa and Gibson, describing the new Doctor as \u201chugely charismatic\u201d.<\/p>\n\u201cNcuti was born to play the Doctor, his energy and individuality make him perfect for the role,\u201d said the It\u2019s a Sin star.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cWhen I got the job, one of the things that really excited me was the fact that I was on this journey with Ncuti, from the beginning of this part of his career.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cHe\u2019s just sprinkled his little magic on it. He\u2019s hugely charismatic and he has a flair about him, a natural flair, where you\u2019re just gripped by everything he says\u2026 <\/span><\/p>\n\u201cAlso, he\u2019s incredibly eye on the eye, he\u2019s lovely! And so is Millie \u2013 they\u2019re both beautiful inside and out, both bold and courageous.<\/span><\/p>\n Lara Cornell\/BBC Studios\/Bad Wolf<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n \u201cThey\u2019re still so young, so for me, I was hugely proud. I mean, I didn\u2019t expect any less, because I know that they\u2019re both excellent, I\u2019ve watched the work that they\u2019ve done in the past. I knew they\u2019d smash it, and they really did.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nHaving previously collaborated with returning Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies on his Channel 4 series It\u2019s a Sin, Greenidge added that the opportunity to work with the award-winning writer again was \u201cjust incredible\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is just an incredible talent \u2013 the scripts are just so enthralling, you can really become immersed in all of the characters. He\u2019s so great at writing the story arcs and everything is so tightly-written.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cThe word is overused, but Russell, he is genuinely a genius. Any show that Russell\u2019s involved with, you\u2019re lucky to be involved with \u2013 it\u2019s a blessing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n James Pardon\/Bad Wolf\/BBC Studios 2023<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n Alongside a story of mischievous goblins wreaking havoc during the festive period, The Church on Ruby Road will also explore the family dynamics of the Sunday clan.<\/p>\n
\u201cCarla\u2019s bond with Ruby is very special, and there isn\u2019t anything Carla wouldn\u2019t do for Ruby,\u201d Greenidge said. \u201cTheir love for each other is very strong.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nHelping to build an \u201cinstant natural bond\u201d was the fact that Greenidge and her on-screen mother Wynter had previously worked together on stage, in a 2018 play at the Royal Court.<\/p>
\u201cI was overjoyed when I learned that Angela was playing my on-screen mum \u2013 she\u2019s such an established part of the acting scene and also such a sweetheart with it, so I knew from the off that we would work really well together as a family unit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s a lovely, busy, complicated, modern family \u2013 three generations of wonderful women under one roof. They are defiant, independent women, bonded together in a loving and caring family.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cI think it\u2019s really important with the roles that we play that it comes from a place of real truth, so it was definitely a real help that there was an instant natural bond between myself, Millie and Angela.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nThe Church on Ruby Road airs at 5:55pm on Christmas Day on BBC One.
