Virtual danger

SCI-FI
Doctor Who
Saturday, 6.50pm, BBC1
In this week’s Doctor Who episode, Dot and Bubble, the Doctor and Ruby visit the world of Finetime – a virtual space where everything seems to be perfect, particularly for popular influencer Lindy Pepper-Bean and her friends.
However, beneath Finetime’s veneer of perfection lies a terrifying monster that is preying on the occupants – so can the Doctor and Ruby help Lindy realise she’s in mortal danger?
‘Lindy is incredibly kind, fun and loyal, but also very petulant and neurotic,’ says Henpocalypse! star
Callie Cooke, 30, who plays her. ‘She exists purely for this app, which is on her Dot device, and there’s only so much a person can be a real human if they only exist on a Dot.’
Cooke was keen to ensure that she avoided portraying a vapid influencer stereotype when she was researching the role.
