Torchwood and Tosh will always have a very special place in my heart.ĭD: How much crossover have you experienced with fans of Torchwood versus fans of Absolutely Fabulous ? I loved Tosh and we had SO much fun filming the show. Must say I felt a little emotional afterwards. I wasn’t sure if I could “find” her again, but as soon as we started, bam! There she was. NM: Thank you so much! I was super excited to revisit Tosh, but I was quite nervous. What is it like coming back to her as a character after all this time? Are you able to just pick up where you left off? They don’t always have to be leaders and experts, but they’ve got to have some character and be interesting.ĭD: I am SO HAPPY to see that you have been able to revisit Toshiko with Zone 10 by Big Finish. For me, it’s all about the writing and the characters. How important is it to you to have that kind of representation for female characters? Does it influence how you choose roles? They’re leaders and experts in their fields. Drama, comedy, sci-fi, action, fantasy-all in one show.ĭD: Toshiko and Gwen are both incredible characters who are fully formed and well-written. What I also loved about Torchwood especially is that it was so many things. I even tried looking up the word “TARDIS” in the dictionary after reading the script because I didn’t know what it was. Being introduced to and working on these shows, it’s really opened up my eyes, and my imagination-both as an actor and a viewer. When I got the role in Doctor Who, I didn’t actually know who Doctor Who was. NM: Firstly, it introduced me to a whole new genre that I hadn’t really watched/worked on before. People connect to certain shows, which then connects them to other shows and other fans, then the conventions connect all of the fans together.ĭD: What is something that you have taken away from your experience being on Torchwood and connected with Doctor Who ? That’s the great thing about all these shows, the communities of fans, and conventions such as Dragon Con. NM: Thank you for watching! I’ve met a few people who got into Doctor Who after Torchwood, and some who have got into them after Sarah Jane Adventures, etc. Have many other fans told you of having a similar experience? Sato (who I played in Doctor Who) might be connected to Toshiko Sato at the beginning-but it was never confirmed right up until the very end when we received the script of the last ep of season 2.ĭD: I actually found Doctor Who because of Torchwood, so thank you for that. Out of the blue, I got a call from Russell and the team via my agent. Naoko Mori (NM): I never thought my appearance in Doctor Who would lead to Torchwood! I can’t quite remember but I think it was about 6 or 8 months after I filmed Doctor Who. How soon after appearing on Doctor Who did you know about Torchwood ? Was it planned from the beginning that your Torchwood character would be connected to that character? She took a few minutes to answer some questions about her time on Torchwood and Doctor Who, as well as some of her experiences on stage.ĭaily Dragon (DD): You had a guest spot on Doctor Who before Torchwood. Naoko Mori, best known to Dragon Con audiences as Toshiko Sato in Torchwood, is making her first appearance at the con.
