We had a chance to sit down with Doctor Who’s Pearl Mackie at NYCC last year.
(No pressure.)
Theres a lot going on out there.
Some of its not-so-nice.
So much so that much of the first act will be mostly from Bills perspective.
(Think NuWho opener Rose.)
How will that initial grounding in Bills world translate to the rest of the season?
Some Companions just leave.
Its more complicated than that for Bill …
Personally, I have my fingers crossed.
According to Mackie, Bill is not so much nonplussed as reacting differently than how you might expect her.
She finds herself in more extreme situations than any average human being finds themself in.
She sees things that people dont see in their lifetime ever a couple of times.
And having to process that is something… it can be really challenging for her.
But, also, this world has opened up.
Its like this realm of possibilities of all of space and time.
Um… were in.
