Describing working with green screen on the episode in an exclusive interview with CultBox, Jones commented: “…they were shouting ‘now there’s a meteor coming at you and there’s this and that’, so I was just like ‘okaaay’. What’s interesting is that your imagination really takes over. Me and Matt had a lot of fun together and I hope that comes across as well.”

The former Coronation Street star also revealed that Matt Smith is keen for her to return to the show: “I’ve been txting Matt to ask how it’s all going as it’s such a long shoot and he txt back saying ‘ah, we miss you, come back!’”
