Right now, Cush Jumbo only deals in Doctors. This week, Apple TV+ premiered her new police two-hander where her fresh detective faces off with Peter Capaldi’s old guard. But Jumbo doesn’t have much time to snuggle in and watch. Until 10 February, she’s on the Donmar Warehouse stage six days a week with another of the Who’s who — David Tennant — in Macbeth.
Jumbo had been searching for a way to regroup with Capaldi since they met ‘ages ago’ on (yep, the other Doctor Who adjacent) Torchwood. ‘We remained chummy, he’s hysterical and we wanted to do something together where we’re going head-to-head.’
