Doctor Who star Catherine Tate admits she struggles to follow the baffling plots and fears she disappoints die-hard fans.
The actress, 53, is reprising her role as companion Donna Noble alongside Tenth Doctor David Tennant, 52, for the show’s 60th anniversary specials later this year.
Asked if she’s a big fan of the BBC One show, she said: “No, full disclosure, I’m not. I won’t say I’m not a fan, that sounds horribly disingenuous… I’m trying to say I don’t understand it.
“It’s probably not childish enough for me. I feel my comprehension is a bit too low-brow for sci-fi. It just baffles me. It’s a complicated show.
“I can’t say I could let you know what was going on. I feel I really disappoint fans all the time, especially in America.
“You do panels and Q&As and they’re desperate to know what the meaning was in episode three, line six. I’m like, ‘I couldn’t tell you, love. I’m sorry but I just don’t know.’
“I love playing the character, but I feel like she is like me, of the Earth.
“This is how much I watch it. I had no idea they carried on when David and I left. No, I’m joking, of course.”
