Doctor Who's Ace companion actress Sophie Aldred reflects fondly on her reunion with Seventh Doctor Sylvester McCoy for "The Power of the Doctor."

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Doctor Who’s Sophie Aldred reflects on her reunion with Sylvester McCoy. Adlred played Ace to McCoy’s Seventh Doctor, originally taking on the character from 1987–1989. Aldred and McCoy reunited again to act together in Doctor Who season 13, episode 9, “The Power of the Doctor,” reprising their roles as the Doctor Who reboot said goodbye to Thirteenth Doctor Jodie Whittaker.

It was extremely important, because the last thing that anyone had ever seen from us was that we'd walked off into some bushes. I mean, it was actually in a quarry in Dorset, and the beautiful speech that Sylvester gives, it was actually a voiceover that was added on later, and written by the script editor, Andrew, to sort of cover the fact that it was going to be the last time that you saw Doctor Who for a while.

It was a very emotional moment. And I think the crew were quite emotional, as well, about it. I came and read the lines for Sylvester when he did his bit on green screen, so we were actually physically there together. He said, for him, it was as though the years just rolled away, and there we were back again. And the only thing that I felt, I think we probably both did, was, 'What a shame we're not about to start a new series again!'
