Doctor Who’s Mandip Gill teases “rage-filled” performance in new drama

As a fan who has been following Mandip Gill‘s career since her days as Yasmin Khan on Doctor Who, I am incredibly excited to see her take on the “rage-filled” and “stressed” character of Sarah in Curfew. The concept of the show, which delves into a society where men are bound by a curfew, is intriguing and thought-provoking.


Actress Mandip Gill, who plays a role in the hit series Doctor Who, hinted at her acting in the show Curfew by saying her character exhibits intense anger and stress.

In the coming six-episode series, inspired by Jayne Cowie’s novel “After Dark“, we delve into a world where men must abide by The Woman’s Safety Act, imposing a rigid curfew upon them during nighttime hours.

In spite of stringent rules that involve constant ankle monitoring, life takes an unexpected turn when a woman is brutally murdered within the confines of these restrictions. Detective Pamela Green (played by Sarah Parish) is summoned to unravel this mysterious crime scene.

Prior to the premiere of the drama on Paramount+ this coming Monday (October 10), Gill, known for her role as Yasmin Khan on Doctor Who, shared insights about her character Sarah with RadioTimes. This Sarah is portrayed as an “angry” individual who accepts a position as a government tracker following the violation of her partner’s curfew conditions.

Gill playfully implied that Sarah’s anger has likely escalated beyond normal levels due to some underlying factor. In my line of work, I often found myself questioning the intensity of her anger, considering she’s a mother of a teenager and dealing with stress like many others.

“Why is she so upset and focused on this particular task? Why did she choose to work at the tagging center? There are countless job opportunities available, but it seems like she took up this role because of some past experience. That’s why she’s acting the way she is now, on a sort of personal mission.

I find myself in a challenging time as whispers circulate about my ex re-entering the scene. He’s currently serving time for a reason, and there are secrets I harbor that only add to the tension. With a teenager to care for, this period is proving to be incredibly demanding and draining. Things aren’t getting any simpler, and I can’t help but feel that I’m making the situation even more complicated.

Gill, along with Bobby Brazier and Larry Lamb, discussed the broader themes of the series. They explained that the production team aimed to portray various viewpoints on the central idea.

Gill stated, “I believe there are numerous solutions, but curfew isn’t one of them as I see it. In fact, the movie ‘Curfew’ presents various perspectives and explores them. Within this narrative, multiple viewpoints are present… Everyone seems to have their own personal opinions about why it’s needed.

The series “Curfew” will make its debut on Paramount+ on October 10th. On the other hand, “Doctor Who” can be watched on BBC One in the United Kingdom and on Disney+ internationally. For those in the UK, classic episodes of “Doctor Who” can be found on BBC iPlayer.
