Sophie Aldred was born in Greenwich, England and brought up in Blackhealth, South East London. After leaving school, she attended Manchester University, where she took a degree in drama. From university she sang in working men's clubs to obtain her Equity Card, then worked in a children's theatre, appearing in a fringe show, "Underground Men," at a pub theatre in London to get an agent, followed by more children theatre. She was appearing in "Fiddler on the Roof" with Topol in Manchester when she landed the part of Ace. At the same time as appearing in "Doctor Who," she presented a series for young children called "Corners" and later "Melvin and Maureen's Music-a-grams," which combined her acting and music skills. She has appeared in a number of theatre productions including a tour of "Daisy Pulls it Off" in which she played the lead, and she played Marjorie Pinchwite in the 1993 West End production of "Lust," a version of "The Country Wife." In 1995 she worked for the Children's Channel on satellite and also Love Call Live for Anglia television with David 'Kid' Jensen. In 1996, she co-authored with effects designer Mike Tucker a book looking at her time in Doctor Who called "Ace!" Show less «

Russell T. Davies is just such a genius that I think in his hands we could be quite confident that it was going to be a success. But no one realised just how much of a fantastically huge success it was going to be and it's just so delightful now that there's a whole new generation of kids growing up knowing what Daleks and Cybermen are.

I've been lucky enough to meet most of the Doctors and they've all been amazing people. Slightly eccentric in some way, very talented actors. They just have to be a person who has really got something different about them. Show less «
