Time for a return to Tardis?

Skinsmiths Basics kit

- ●

From ER to the Tardis, Alex’s career to date has been distinguis­hed by roles opposite fictional doctors, whether medical or time-travelling.

The smash-hit hospital drama which made her a star in the ’90s famously launched the Hollywood career of a certain George Clooney. Then in 2008, Alex won a new generation of fans as the wife of Doctor Who. Because the Doctor transmutat­es over time Alex, as River Song, gets several leading men for the price of one. Alex said: “Essentiall­y my character is the same, so there’s continuity there, and the fun is interactin­g with someone who is essentiall­y the same man, but in a different skin and with a different energy.” Perhaps the least lucky man in the role was Matt Smith. Alex explained: “One of the most memorable parts of filming was when I flew through the universe, got caught in the Tardis and kneed Matt Smith, who was playing the Doctor at the time, in a sore place by mistake. There were a few tears of laughter from me and cries of pain from him.” Speculatio­n is rife among fans that Alex will return to the Whoniverse, if the incumbent Time Lord Jodie Whittaker steps down. All Alex will say is: “My Tardis door is always open…”

So easy to wear you’ll forget you have it on, the cross body bag is always a winner

This is a great day to evening option, as it can be glammed up with heels and a chic bag. Print will add interest to plain trousers or jeans.
