Editor Notes: Taylor’s audio is a little quiet at times. (Taylor is also softly spoken). Also there’s a ding from her phone and that’s just witch business so don’t question it. There’s also an audio glitch around 19:45. We’ve tried to edit as best as possible but given we mainly do remote interviews we work with the best that we have.

A Pearl Mackie scronch, humour, seriousness, emotion, Doctor Who and much more.
