The actress, Golda Rosheuvel, revealed that she had been waiting for years to get a role in the popular BBC series, Doctor Who.

In the first episode of the new season, the Doctor and Ruby find themselves on a space station filled with babies in an episode aptly called "Space Babies." Golda, known for her roles in Bridgerton and Queen Charlotte, spoke about her character Jocelyn, who meets the Doctor and Ruby during their strange and nappy-filled adventure. She revealed that she had not yet had the chance to watch her episode and couldn't believe it had been 16 years since she appeared in the Doctor Who spin-off Torchwood.
Golda had been trying to get a role in Doctor Who for many years, but had always been "pipped at the post" by her friends. However, the stars aligned for her to play Jocelyn in this new season, thanks to her previous working relationship with the director and the timing of her finish on Bridgerton. She emphasized the joy she experienced working on this "bonkers" show and how she enjoyed playing a grounded character in such a wild and imaginative world.
Golda also shared her excitement for the new era of Doctor Who with Ncuti and Millie taking over as the Doctor and companion. She praised Ncuti for his talent, wit, and grace, and hinted at the joy and power he will bring to the role.
