Kendal hails impact of 'Doctor Who' role

Felicity Kendal has hailed the impact of her guest appearance on Doctor Who in Saturday's Agatha Christie-themed episode 'The Unicorn and The Wasp'.

"People are more impressed that I've done this than most things that I've done," the former Rosemary and Thyme actress told Radio Times. "All sorts of young people will be watching it thinking that I really am the bee's knees now. So I feel that I've made it!"

Best known for her role in classic sitcom The Good Life, Kendal found the experience of playing Lady Eddison alongside a computer-generated giant wasp to be nothing out of the ordinary: "If they say 'this is what you have to imagine', you tend to imagine it... [so] if a collection of people are all facing the same blank space going, oh my God, that's terrible', you tend to join in with it."
