The former Doctor Who actress recently spoke to RadioTimes.com about what makes the show different from her other projects. "The process is kind of completely the same, only my stuff was all shot in front of a studio audience and obviously this isn't," she explained. "And so what I don't have is the direct connection with the audience straight there."
"I have to say, working with Netflix creatively was a fantastic experience," she added.
Hard Cell is available to stream on Netflix.
