She said in a report on BBC News: "We use all sorts of things. Celery is used for broken bones, melons for blood and guts, and hair gel for slime.

"My favourite scene was episode six of the last Doctor Who series where we had the Lazarus monster - it was a huge challenge.

"For that one, we used hair gel and lots of broken glass."

Angell also works on spin-offs Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures.
