Freema Agyeman hails 'Jim Robinson'

Freema Agyeman has revealed her admiration for fellow Torchwood guest star Alan Dale - especially after the former Neighbours regular was accidentally called 'Jim Robinson' on set.

The actress, who plays former Doctor Who companion Martha Jones, told Torchwood Magazine about her time with Dale, who spent several years in the Australian soap playing Jim Robinson.

"He's so gorgeous and commanding that I actually melted a bit!" she said. "But he was so refreshing to talk to, because he was so frank about the industry, and always ready to laugh at himself. He said that even though he's done 50 parts or whatever since he was in Neighbours, people still call him Jim!"

Agyeman disclosed that such an occurrence happened while filming the episode 'Reset', although Dale saw the funny side. "Someone called him Jim on set and I was just hooting," she admitted. "Had he not been able to laugh at himself, that could have been an awkward situation!"
