Apparently, it was _after_ being cast in Doctor Who. Jenna-Louise Coleman, best known for playing Emmerdale’s Jasmine Thomas, stripped off for the television adaptation of John Braine’s landmark 1957 novel Room At The Top.

I remember thinking at the time that was a well done scene and that she was good in it.

She reminds me of a young Joanne Whalley (before the Kilmer).

Isn’t that Harriet Jones, MP, Flydale North, with her sunflower?

Neither did Donna, but she had an excuse.

Either because Miss Kizlet is clever enough to realize that allowing her subordinates to come up with ideas is more productive than having them be mere vehicles for her ideas, or she’s so confident of her advantage (in being able to hack the others) that she has no worries about any danger due to lack of loyalty, or she enjoying playing with her subordinates (and would lose the fun if they were to obedient) - or some combination of three.
