Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com at the Radio Times Covers Party, Dobson teased what fans can expect from the character in the upcoming season, explaining: “I think she realises that things are coming to a head and she really needs to have her wits about her now. And so she’s beetling around doing what she does, but now with purpose because she knows that the future is holding some kind of finale if you like."
She continued: "So yeah, I think she’s really focused even though she’s ditzy, she’s focused. She knows what’s going on."
