Happy Birthday, Camille Coduri!
Birthday wishes go out on this day to Camille Coduri, the actress who Whovians across the land will know for her portrayal of Rose Tyler’s fiesty mother, Jackie Tyler, in Doctor Who!
Coduri played the character in Series 1 and 2, and made a short but sweet return alongside her daughter in the Series 4 finale, Journey’s End, where she joined forces with the Children of Time to defeat the almighty Davros and his army of Daleks - but she wasn’t allowed to touch the TARDIS controls!
She’ll be back on our screens as Jackie in this year’s Doctor Who Christmas specials, which will mark the end of David Tennant’s tenure as the Tenth Doctor.
She is celebrating her 42nd birthday, and we hope she has a wonderful day!
Haaaaaaaaaapppppy Biiiirthdaaaaaay! Obviously the best mother on Doctor Who.
Happy Birthday Camille. One of my favourite ever DW (comedy) scenes is with Doc 10 & Jackie: “She’s not the best I’ve ever had. Bit too blonde. Not too steady on her pins. A lot of that. And just last week, she stared into the heart of the Time Vortex and aged 57 years. But she’ll do… I’ll have to trade her in. Do you need anyone? She’s very good at tea. Well, I say very good, I mean not bad. Well. I say not bad… anyway! Lead on. But not too fast. Her ankle’s going.” Utterly brilliant!
