Doctor Who series finale will be “spine-tingling” – Jenna-Louise Coleman

April 11th, 2013 by Marc Comments

Doctor Who actress Jenna-Louise Coleman has revealed there will be several big revelations in the final episode of the seventh series which will lead into the BBC sci-fi drama’s highly anticipated 50th anniversary special later this year.

Among the plot twists, viewers will discover why the birthday of Clara’s Victorian alter-ego – who appeared alongside Matt Smith’s Doctor in the 2012 Christmas special ‘The Snowmen’ – is so significant. The character’s birthday falls on November 23, the same day ‘Doctor Who’ first aired in 1963.

Jenna-Louise explained to TV Guide: “In the Christmas episode, I didn’t know why that was the case. But again, we will find out by the end of this series. It’s really exciting. It is phenomenal. My spine was tingling when I read it.

“Again, I’m teasing you so badly here, but there’s the beginning opening sequence, which is kind of building up into the 50th [anniversary episode]. It’s just huge.”

Jenna also discussed what it was like filming in the newly built TARDIS which was introduced in last year’s Christmas episode. “It was strange because obviously it was a brand new TARDIS, so it was a set that nobody’s ever used before or seen before at this point. But this is where you’re going to be for however many [of] the next couple of seasons or years, so it’s like mine and Matt’s new place.”

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
