Prepare to be terrified as SWARM joins us on WHO Corner to Corner

That's right - fresh from his role as Swarm in Doctor Who Flux we have actor Sam Spruell with us on the podcast this week!

We learn all about becoming Swarm and the difficulties of performing in Cuban heels, plus what it was like working with Jodie, Mandip and John. We discover just how early you need to wake up to be made up in Swarm's prosthetics and we learn just how warm... or not...the Roath Lock studios are!

We also ask the biggest question of all: Are Swarm and Azure brother and sister? 

Sam talks to us about his start in the acting world, how his big break came out and how a recent operation helped him land the role! 

We discuss his recent work on stage at Chichester Festival Theatre in Doubt, his love of the stage and the differences between stage and screen work.

Sam tells us about his first ComicCon experience and his thoughts about Whovians (it's all good, trust us!)

 We also learn:

  • Who was originally up for the role of Swarm... 
  • Which member of Sams family has previously appeared in Doctor Who... 
  • Who influenced the characteristics of Swarm... 
  • Swarm and The Doctors aggressive flirting…

And much more... 

So sit back, turn the lights down and let Sam's unmistakeable voice tell you all about the man behind the purple skull, the 'demonic matador' costume and the gold teeth.
