Frances Barber on "A Good Man Goes To War"

Frances Barber, who has appeared throughout the current series of Doctor Who as the "Eye Patch Lady" has discussed her role in the mid-series finale.

The actress will be playing Madame Kovarian in Saturday's Steven Moffat-scripted "A Good Man Goes To War".

Barber told Total TV Guide: "She's popped up in several episodes, but until now you're not sure who she is, or who she is even talking to."

She added: "[Kovarian is] involved with Amy's pregnancy, before and after the birth, and is in charge of a band of soldiers."

Barber also comments on the character's outfit: "It's a very fitted '40s femme fatale look, but it has a futuristic twist," she explained. "It's a powerful, dominatrix look, though not in a sexual way. Doctor Who is a family drama!"

Doctor Who: A Good Man Goes To War - Saturday, 6.40pm on BBC One.
