IN THE GREEN ROOM WITH...
The Paternoster Gang – Strax (Dan Starkey), Jenny (Catrin Stewart) and Madame Vastra (Neve McIntosh) – in
The Name of the Doctor
(2012).
Hello, Neve and Dan. You play Vastra and Strax in
The Paternoster Gang,
and for the latest box set you’ve also co-written the
Jellyfish!
episode.
Neve:
I wanted to tell a good adventure, with a great villain and with exciting stuff for us all to do. Vastra is the Great Detective, and one of the Sherlock Holmes short stories called
The Adventure of the Lion’s Mane
stuck in my head, as that’s about a jellyfish.
