Excerpt from Emily Cook's interview with David and Catherine for Doctor Who Magazine #593:

“As I said earlier,” says Catherine, “I’m not on social media so I have no idea what the reaction was [to the announcement of David & Catherine returning to Doctor who]. As long as they remember us, that’s where my bar is.” “It’s just nice not to have to lie to friends anymore,” says David. “It’s nice to be a bit more open about what one’s doing, without giving too many details away.” “It was a big secret,” stresses Catherine. “It was very under the radar.” Was there anyone they entrusted the secret to? “There are a couple of people in my life who sort of figured it out and I didn’t disabuse them,” says David. “Then there were a couple of people I told just before the announcement. Like my kids.” What was their reaction? “The really sweet reaction was Ty, who’s 20 and of course was a kid when I was on Doctor Who the first time round. He was absolutely delighted. I don’t think I’ve pleased Ty that much probably ever. So that was very pleasing. Because he’s the generation that experienced it as a kid and is now old enough to enjoy the revisitation of that.” “I told my daughter quite early on,” says Catherine. “Is she good at keeping big secrets, though?” asks David. “Very very very. And then I realised as I said it… I thought, ‘Oh, I’m not sure I should have given that information to a teenager. To be like, ‘Don’t tell anyone for a year.’ But she didn’t.” “You don’t want to burden someone with a secret like that, in a way,” considers David. “Because it is a bit toxic when it’s so closely guarded. There were a couple of people who’d obviously got wind of it somehow, who asked me straight out and I just lied to their face. And then last Sunday, whenever the announcement was, I had to do lots of messaging around going, ‘I did lie to your face, I hope you’ll understand, I’m sure you know how it works.’ So there was a bit of that.”

 They always go like: “You’ve been keeping secrets from me! You should have told me! We always tell eachother everything, you had no right to keep this from me! I trusted you but now it’s like I don’t know you anymore!” And they’re always so aggressive about it. 

And I’m always just sitting there like: Bitch? You have no right to demand something like that from them? They have every right to secrets. Everyone has. They have absolutely no obligation to tell you stuff. If they want to keep something secret, they can. Its their fucking basic human right.
