![]() But I didn’t know! He was, like, “That’s pathetic. I tried to look it up in the dictionary, couldn’t find the word, phoned my agent…and he put the phone down, he was laughing so hard. They sent me the script, and I didn’t even know what a TARDIS was. So it really was, like, “Doctor Who?” Y’know, with a question mark. I’d known something about “Doctor Who,” but I never watched it, because I kind of grew up all over: in the States, Japan, da da da. ![]() ( Takes a deep breath) Well, I did one episode of “Doctor Who” when Christopher Eccleston was The Doctor, in the first series, but my knowledge of “Doctor Who” was less than zero. But rain…that’s good weather for us in England! ( Laughs)īE: Well, it’s a pleasure to speak with you…and since I figured I’d make this all-encompassing, I guess I should start by asking how you first came into the world of “Doctor Who” and “Torchwood,” and what was your knowledge of “Doctor Who” and its related franchises prior to that? ![]() What’s the weather like out there?īE: It’s threatening rain, and it’s supposed to do that all week. Naoko Mori: Hi, Will! Where are you calling from? Mori about how she came aboard “Torchwood” in the first place, asked what it was like working during James Masters, quizzed her on her favorites episodes of the show, and – perhaps most crucially – asked if she still gets secretly excited when she recalls how she had a role in “Spice World.” Like everyone affiliated with Torchwood, Toshiko…or Tosh, as she’s more familiarly known…has gone through quite a lot in her time with the Institute, but she definitely had more than her fair shares of issues in Season 2. In conjunction with the Season 2 release, we were granted the opportunity to speak to one of the show’s cast members: Naoko Mori, who plays computer specialist Toshiko Sato. Season 1 is already available on DVD, and Season 2 makes its DVD debut on September 16th. If you’ve never watched “Torchwood,” it’s time to start playing catch-up. Spun off from “Doctor Who,” the series focuses on the Cardiff branch of the Torchwood Institute, an organization which was founded in 1879 by Queen Victoria to research and combat alien threats to the British Empire. If you’re an Anglo-centric sci-fi fan, then I won’t be telling you anything you don’t already know when I say that “Torchwood” is one of the best shows of its type to come around in ages. ![]()
