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.
