Reviews
Six degrees
Matt Smith, the current Dr Who, made his professional debut in this play. In a round of up theatre reviews in the Independent at the time, he was described as “Matt Smith’s gangly Arnold is disturbing, needy and viciously manipulative. A name to watch”. How prophetic! Nicola has not done any work with Matt Smith on screen. However, she recently recorded an audio version of a Dr Who story, Robophobia.
John Sharian, cast member, also played a retired CIA agent in episode 409 of Spooks [TV].
