My name’s Anna Calder-Marshall, I’ve been acting now for about 33 years. I’ve done a lot of classical work, I’ve done films, television, I used to do ingénue parts and classical ladies, and now I’m moving into a lovely area which is kind of slightly off-the-wall, mad, bad ladies, eccentric people, older people, so I’m having a ball.

The character I play is Miss Matilda Pierce who is an old bag lady who used to have 28 cats and because of this horrible being is now homeless, and I talk to the Doctor.
