Sarah Sutton was born on 12 December 1961 and began her acting career at the age of seven when, while attending the Elm Hurst Ballet School, she was picked to play the part of Roo in a Phoenix Theatre production of "Winnie the Pooh". By the age of eleven she had landed a number of TV roles, including in "Menace: Boys and Girls Come Out to Play" (1973), "Late Call" (1974) and "Oil Strike North" (1975). Her biggest success came when she won the lead in the children's drama serial "The Moon Stallion" (1978). She went back to her acting studies at the Guidhall School of Music and Drama as a part-time student. It ws shortly after taking a Caribbean holiday that she was called to audition for the part of Nyssa in Doctor Who. Following her stint on the series she returned to theatre work, touring in the play "Policy for Murder" (1986). She subsequently got married and had a baby daughter, Hannah, which contributed to her taking a break from acting. She did however win a small role in the TV play "Unnatural Pursuits." She hopes to return to full-time acting when her daughter is older. Show less «

I got a phone call from my agent, who said that I was up for a part in 'Doctor Who' and would I go for an interview. I went along for an interview with the director of 'The Keeper of Traken', John Black, and John Nathan-Turner. Very soon after this I was told I'd got the part of Nyssa, thought it was a little while before they asked me to carry on. I was very pleased to do so, and quickly signed on the dotted line because the regular pay was very appealing. Show less «
