Thaddea Graham, who played Bel in Series 13, aka Flux<\/em>, says she’d love to return to Doctor Who<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking before Jodie’s last episode aired, Thaddea enthused: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The only thing I can say about (Doctor Who<\/em>) is that it is full of a lot of heart, and a lot of people who care. Jodie Whittaker is my hero now, having worked with her. She takes such pride in her work. It was a real honour to get to meet her and the crew, and I\u2019m excited to see [The Power of the Doctor<\/em>].”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Jacob Anderson, of course, made an appearance as Vinder, Bel’s husband, in the Thirteenth Doctor’s swansong episode so would Graham come back too for a future episode? Graham was forthcoming when asked by the Radio Times<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“100 percent. I think it was such a joy to work on. It’s been going for so many years and the crew keep returning, which I think is a massive tell that something’s working, because they keep coming back year after year. I\u2019d love to.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Elsewhere, Thaddea Graham has spoken at greater length about her acting career and her fascinating personal history as an international adoptee from China to Ireland in an interview with Evening Standard<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I never like to use the word abandoned; I don\u2019t think I was abandoned. The choice to leave your child is a massive one, and I feel my birth parents left me in a place I would be found. And somebody did.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

She can currently be seen on BBC Three and iPlayer in the new comedy horror series Wreck<\/em>, set on a cruise ship terrorised by a serial killer clad in a duck costume:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It\u2019s constantly fluctuating and keeps the audience guessing, that\u2019s what I love about the show. And there\u2019s a lot of heart in it.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Graham’s next role will see her joining the cast of the hit Netflix drama Sex Education<\/em> for its fourth series, where one of her co-stars will be the new Doctor, Ncuti Gatwa: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“He was so welcoming and kind. Especially for someone who had such a big announcement with so many eyes on him… He\u2019s just amazing; he\u2019s going to fly.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What do you think, DWC readers? Would you like to see Bel return?<\/p>\n
