Some info on Sophie Aldred, Doctor Who's Ace
ENCOUNTER WITH AN ACE
by Gail Bennet
More than 5,000 people attended "Conspiracy '87", the World Science
Fiction Convention in Brighton, England, in August - and among them
was Sophie Aldred, the actress recently chosen to portray the
Doctor's latest companion.
As a dealer I usually spend most of the day at a con stuck behind my
table - but that can be a blessing as everyone at a con eventually
makes it through the dealer's room. Thus I was happily waiting on - or
for - customers when a gentleman asked if I were a Doctor Who fan.
(I assume he took a clue from the collage of Doctor Who paintings
plastered across my wall and the two tables in front of me loaded
with prints and autographed photos of the same.)
Beside the gentleman - a representative of Radio Suxxes -
was a petite blonde with sparkling dark eyes and an engaging smile,
who was subsequently introduced as Sophie Aldred, the Doctor's new
companion.
Sophie plays "Ace" - a motorcycle enthusiast, yet: guess we'll find
out in a hurry if the seventh Doctor retains any of the third's
love of gadgets and speed. Sophie won the role in part because whe,
herself, rides her own "bike" - althogh no doubt her enthusiasm
played a large part. From Manchester, Sophie has watched
Doctor WHo all her life and is tremendously excited about this
turn in her career. Her first appearance is in the series
"Dragonfire" from the current season, and like all of us she
hopes for many more stories to come, for herself and for the show.
