Sophie Aldred quotes:

Doctor Who' was my first telly job, and before that I did a lot of theatre in education, children's theatre.

My concept of a 'Doctor Who' girl was that you screamed a lot and ran around quarries in unsuitable footwear. Of course you fell over and twisted your ankle, because you had high heels on.

I loved the medium of TV from the first moment that I got into a studio.

I always wanted to be a 'Blue Peter' presenter when I grew up!

I always wanted to be a Blue Peter presenter when I grew up!

There was something very special about Doctor Who, and I did miss it a lot.

I always had a real love of children's presenting, and I was lucky enough to do that and have an acting career alongside it.
