Pearl Mackie has revealed a few more teasers about Bill’s personality in a recent interview with the Guardian.

The actress, who was announced as the Doctor’s brand new companion back in April, will make her official on screen debut in Series 10 next year, although she admitted that her life has already started to change. “I was in my friend’s shop the other day and this French guy comes in,” she said. “I told him, ‘I don’t work here, but someone will be with you in a minute.’ He says, ‘Non, non, non! You are Pearl Mackie, yes? Can I take your picture?’”

Despite Doctor Who being “the biggest part” she’s ever had, she added that she’s “having the time of her life” working alongside Peter Capaldi, as she explained: “The Doctor and Bill complement each other. Bill is funny and geeky and vulnerable. There is a goofiness to her and a big heart, but she gets things wrong and she has a temper. I knew her straightaway.”
