The Time and Space Visualiser looks back at a landmark moment… and provides more updates on what Doctor Who luminaries are doing during the lockdown.

ACTORS

Arthur Darvill is “working my way through the 36 bags of Tangy Toms I bought just in case”.

Anjli Mohindra has written a drama about finding love during the lockdown, People Under the Moon, which can be seen at tinyurl.com/PeopleUnderTheMoon

Matthew Waterhouse has been “re-reading Proust’s In Search of Lost Time. (I even have two – yes, two – Proust cookbooks.) It’s massive, 4,000 pages. At 50-60 pages a day I’ve passed page 3,000. Mostly it’s magnificent, teeming with life, often very funny. It probably helps to be a Francophile. I hope the lockdown isn’t lifted until I’ve got to the end.” He has also been “listening to a lot of Ella Fitzgerald. She doesn’t seem to have ever made a du. record.”

Nicholas Briggs has “binged in slow motion through Normal People, Life on Mars and Devs. I highly recommend those series.” He also speaks to his mum on the phone every day. “I miss seeing her an awful lot. At 90 years old, she doesn’t know anything about the internet at all. It’s like magic to her, and she’s never had a computer!”

Dan Starkey is doing “lots of pacing around and distracting myself with improving activities, like the tentative and studious nine-year-old I appear to be morphing back into. Umm… I have four separate chilli plants on the go, grown from seeds in the last batch I bought from the market before lockdown. They should be fiery if they grow to fruit, but that won’t be a for a few months yet. It’s good to have something to look forward to, eh? And I’ve invented something I call banana bread: it rocks.”
