Fans of Doctor Who companion Clara Oswald might be able to stop weeping into their fish fingers and custard.

Actress Jenna Coleman may have confirmed that she’s quitting her role on the BBC sci-fi hit last week but she’s said she’d be open to a return one day.

“I would always be happy (to return) if there was a good story,” she told Entertainment Weekly. “But I think we’ll have to see what happens.”
Coleman said that her exit has been planned for some time and that her final story is “really cool”.

“We decided last year, it had only been one season with Peter, and there was a lot more to do,” she said. “So that’s what it was, really.

“It was just about telling the best story we could. So, I’m hoping that’s what was done.
“I’m really pleased with it. I think it’s really cool. People will have to wait and see what happens!”

The actress, who will soon play the young Queen Victoria in ITV’s Victoria, added that leaving Doctor Who after three years “did not feel real at all”.

“It was just really weird,” she said. “I was really overwhelmed. I recognise that it’s a special part of my life. The storytelling is so dynamic, and big, and whimsical, and magical. You feel like you’re in a fairy tale and it’s really hard to walk away from that.

“It’s a lot more than just a job — the friendships I have with the crew and Peter, it’s very hard to say goodbye to it.”
