Mother and daughter team to feature in Who episode
The new series of Doctor Who will be a family affair when Avengers star Dame Diana Rigg teams up with her daughter, Rachael Stirling, in one episode.
The pair will play a mother and daughter with a dark secret in an episode written by Mark Gatiss to be shown next year.
Dame Diana, who played Emma Peel in The Avengers and a Bond girl in the 1969 film On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, said: “The first time Rachie and I will be working together is on an episode of Doctor Who specially written for us by Mark Gatiss. How lucky is that?”
Show supremo Steven Moffat said it was “a combination of talents you could only get in Doctor Who”, adding: “Frankly, I’m terrified already.”
