The 42cast is proud to welcome the newest addition to the ranks of the Doctor’s companions with Lauren Cornelius. Lauren is currently playing the role of Dodo Chaplet in First Doctor Adventures from Big Finish productions. In this interview Lauren sits down with us to talk about how a shy girl from Camden Town became the actress that we know today. Along the way we discuss her favorite types of stories, acting under lockdown, and what she enjoys about the character of Dodo. We also talk about her interests aside from acting and her experiences recording several different Doctor Who adventures.
As this is an interview episode there is no five-minute controversy.

This month, Big Finish is opening the door on a brand new set of adventures featuring the first Doctor and his companions as you’ve never seen them before. Fresh from Twice Upon a Time, David Bradley has stepped back into the role of the first incarnation of everyone’s famous Time Lord, but this time he’s joined by his costars from An Adventure in Space and Time to play Ian, Barbara, and Susan. We had the pleasure of being able to sit with Nick Briggs, co-producer at Big Finish and director of this series to give us some information about this series as well as discussing recasting and “authenticity” in general with us.
