In some of the stories I\u2019ve been made quite literate and science-y but I\u2019m personally more interested in her visceral side, in her hunting, shooting, fishing, morality side, and I would like to see that explored and for her to be a sort of touchstone of wisdom\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d love to do a cameo in the new one. I think the new choice of Doctor is extraordinary, and the new choice of companion.
