With three episodes under her belt, Millie Gibson has made quite as splash in the newest season of Doctor Who. Playing new companion Ruby Sunday, Gibson is ushering in a new era of the series alongside her co-star Ncuti Gatwa. In the first three episodes, Ruby and the Doctor (Gatwa) have already faced a horde of goblins, the boogeyman, and a musical trickster god. Up next, they’ll find themselves on a war torn planet where the Doctor finds himself stuck on an active land mine in “Boom” written by former showrunner Steven Moffat.
Ahead of the episode, I sat down with Gibson for an extended chat about what’s on the horizon for Ruby Sunday. During our conversation, Gibson revealed how she got into character for Doctor Who, which episode she’s most proud of, and where she would take her own TARDIS. She also spoke about working on stunts for “The Devil’s Chord,” and working with guest stars like Jinkx Monsoon, Golda Rosheuvel, and Jonathan Groff. She went on to break down the importance of Ruby’s family, and we also dug into the dual mysteries tying Ruby and the Doctor together.
