In a sharp change from ‘Doctor Who’, she is a bullish rookie detective investigating a disappearance
In her 20-year acting career, Jenna Coleman has done it all: travelled through space and time in Doctor Who, ruled the British empire in Victoria, committed spousal murder in The Cry and been a serial killer’s moll in hit true-crime series The Serpent. But ask her to arrest someone in a detective drama, she says, and it all falls apart. “I am terrible at it. It’s one of those scenes where I instantly feel like a five-year-old and become really aware of my body.
” Born and raised in Blackpool in a working-class family, Coleman did not go to drama school and was a teenager when she landed her first acting job in long-running TV soap Emmerdale. At 19, she found suddenly being in millions of living rooms “totally bizarre”. Moving to Leeds to film the show, Coleman got into the habit of walking with her head down to avoid being recognised.
