Behind the Scenes of Tooth and Claw - Part Six 

Excerpts from the Radio Times’ interview with Pauline Collins [who played Queen Victoria in Tooth and Claw] - by Anna Hunt:

Another amazing feat was negotiating the royal regalia during filming. “The most challenging part of playing Queen Victoria was the wonderful but very heavy costume,” says Collins. “There were so many layers to the skirts that I felt like I was carrying several small children around with me all the time.”

(Billie Piper’s clothes as Rose are worth a close look as well, as costume designer Louise Page reveals: “I’ve got a little twist in the t-shirt, which people won’t see that much of, but there’s something on the t-shirt that for me is a nod to the episode.”)

And as for the Doctor, in Pauline Collins’ opinion, David Tennant is the best Time Lord of them all. “David’s Doctor has a darker side to him, an unpredictability,” she says. “You imagine he could take the Doctor to dark places. As Queen Victoria, I don’t really like the Doctor because of this. I don’t know where he’s come from or where he’s really going and it rubs me up the wrong way.  As myself though, I think he’s the best Doctor so far.”
