For my role as 'Rosita' in 'The Next Doctor''Rosita. Oh I want her to be a full time companion! This girl showed a lot of spunk and attitude. Fiercely protective and loyal. Velile Tshabalala deserves some fantastic praise for her performance here. She really brings Rosita to life and I would have quite liked to see her full time!
Our real introduction to her character comes when she saves both Doctors' lives only moments after the opening credits have rolled; of course they've gotten themselves stuck into a sticky situation, facing death, when Rosita appears.
She's got a voice and one heck of a right hook. Make no mistake; she is not a passive companion. When the villain of the piece openly explains part of the plot, it's Rosita who marches straight up and gives her what for. That's a refreshing change of pace given how Perfect Ten, marvellous Ten, only uses violence as a last resort. I'm not saying that's wrong. Absolutely not! But on balance, it gives a nice twist. It's not something we would have seen Rose or Martha do at first!'
Full review at: scifiheaven.netFor My Role as Tania in 'BoomBangaBang''The writer Jonathan Harvey is always in command of his trademark larger-than-life, mainly gay, characters. Of particular note are the loveable Roy, who can't help but say the wrong thing, and the brash foul-mouthed Tania (Velile Tshabalala) whose snappy retorts are a delight to witness, although you wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of her harsh tongue.'
