Doctor Who Magazine 404
Tuesday, 6 January 2009 - Reported by Kenny Davidson
The latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine, out this week, features an interview with Dervla Kirwan, Miss Hartigan in The Next Doctor, who talks about playing the beautiful and ruthless 'lady in red'.
So, about that frock then...? "In her very first scene, drab, matronly, grey dress, and then she sort of transforms into this vision of red!" laughs Dervla."We don't know how she did that really. We assume there's some handy Cyberman with needlework skills and great make-up boxes!"
