A new interview with Jenna Coleman for the Royal Television Society!
Some highlights:
About Wilderness:
Coleman is particularly proud of the fact that “I don’t think we shied away from the ugliness of Liv”.
“I was dancing like I had an electric shock,” Coleman recalls. Liv exorcises her anxiety by literally “shaking it outside of her body”.
About The Serpent:
The trick was not to condemn Leclerc or let her off the hook: instead, Coleman tried simply to understand her.
Actors are often asked if they like their characters, says Coleman, but she counters that “liking or not liking them is up to the audience. As long as you understand them, then, in a way, you’re within them.”
This is exactly why she’s such a brilliant actress!
About Doctor Who:
The expectation of perfection is a dangerous thing, she continues.
“That’s something that [Doctor Who co-star] Peter Capaldi really instilled in me, about there not being about right and wrong: it’s about options.”
“As soon as it’s about options, it frees you up creatively, because you’re not trying to hit a perfect version of how you’ve read it.”
Jenna also confirms that she is currently filming The Sandman season 2:
“I’m shooting on Sandman at the moment, so I’m getting a dose of my Gothic, dark fantasy genre.”
She also talked about The Jetty:
To her, cops tend to be “the cog that turns the story”, whereas she was holding out for something “that feels nuanced and complex and human”. Now, it seems her prayers have been answered.
“The scripts have been b-eau-tiful,” she says.
“There’s a lot based on women and water and echoes, memories, retrospect, past”, as well being choc-a-bloc with “really beautiful character studies.”
As for her plans for the future, Jenna says:
The question of ‘what next?’ seems a little obvious for Coleman, who seems positively allergic to resting on her laurels.
Looking further ahead, Coleman tells me “I’d love to look for another play, I’d love to do some comedy, I’d love to look for indie film projects.”
She has been toying with the idea of turning her hand to writing or directing “a little bit”. Her first project, if one were ever to materialise, would likely be an adaptation of some kind. For now, though, “I think I’m happy to be a jobbing actor.”

R-T! How are you doing? 🥺
Oh, I’m doing fine. Better from early and a little tired but that’s standard for the job I guess.

This came out so nice! This is “1000 Doves” by Lady Gaga as I see it because of synesthesia, a condition that impacts sensory input and can cause music to me see as well as heard!
