Doctor Who: 12 Big Questions About Ashildr's Episodes
11. And Will She Be Good Or Bad?
Talking of that prophetic image, Ashildr may have started out as a reserved, innocent girl but 800 years clearly changed her as we saw a very different woman in 16th Century England. Quite content to disguise herself and become a notorious highwayman and then willingly allow someone to die to activate the amulet that would take her off world, she was not the same person from the previous week. There was still good in her, but the pain and suffering of seeing everyone she loved or cared about die - including her own children - had clearly destroyed the pure innocence of her childhood. She may have turned herself around, become the 'patron of the people the Doctor left behind' but it still remains to be seen whether she will end up on the Doctor's side, or acting against him.
A writer for Whatculture since May 2013, I also write for TheRichest.com and am the TV editor and writer for Thedigitalfix.com . I wrote two plays for the Greater Manchester Horror Fringe in 2013, the first an adaption of Simon Clark's 'Swallowing A Dirty Seed' and my own original sci-fi horror play 'Centurion', which had an 8/10* review from Starburst magazine! (http://www.starburstmagazine.com/reviews/eventsupcoming-genre-events/6960-event-review-centurion) I also wrote an episode for online comedy series Supermarket Matters in 2012. I aim to achieve my goal for writing for television (and get my novels published) but in the meantime I'll continue to write about those TV shows I love!
