Lending her voice-tacular talents to Episode 2 of Space Girls is none other than Lena Headey, an actress undoubtedly best known for her role as Ambrosia, the kookadook roommate from hell in the “Top Friends” episode of Ghostella’s Haunted Tomb. She was also in 300, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, The Brothers Grimm- and she’s set to star in HBO’s forthcoming Game of Thrones… but it’s not like anybody’s really heard of that stuff. Anyway, she was nice enough to answer some questions just for this- yes, this!- website. Read on, my friends, and be enlightened.

What kind of research did you do to prepare yourself for your role as T.R.U.D.I., the voice of the Starship Raptor?

For the role of T.R.U.D.I. the Space Girls‘ spaceship, I worked exceedingly hard to create a voice that would be memorable for years to come, something to inspire future generations. I locked myself in a cupboard under the stairs for a whole day just to grasp the isolation a ship like T.R.U.D.I. would feel, though I did come out for 30 minutes to drink a cup of tea.

What does T.R.U.D.I. stand for?

T.R.U.D.I. stands for Typically Rude Underwear Dirty Igloos.

The first episode of Space Girls takes place in the year 35,301. Apparently intergalactic travel has been conquered by that time- what else do you hope humankind accomplishes in the next 33,291 years?

I hope we manage to stop fucking killing each other for money and raping the planet for profit… and that all weapons are banned … we are only allowed to fight each other if we wear mittens made of marshmallow… and human rights are upheld in EVERY country.

Did you finish watching Battlestar Galactica Season 1 yet? I want my DVDs back.

I hid your DVDs.

Who would win in a fight, Tuffie Firefist or Sarah Connor?

Deffo Tuffie.

Who would win in a fight, Tuffie Firefist or you?

Me, for sure. I’d stand on Tuffie’s tiny plastic frame.

Do you think Captain Motts should do something about her rich, heavy eyebrows, or should she continue to let nature take its course?

Pah! Let nature take its course. There’s no enjoyable way to remove hair, and unibrows are cool in space.

What sort of sidekick would you like to see in a future episode of Space Girls: a furry monster we can’t understand, like Chewbacca, or a robot we can’t understand, like R2-D2?

A furry monster for sure- maybe a GIGANTIC eyebrow!

It would be so cool to fly around the galaxy in a spaceship. That is not a question, I am just saying.

Duh! Of course it would.

Which futuristic superpower would you most like to have: 1) jet packs on your feet 2) lasers that shoot out of your eyeballs 3) the ability to grow wicked tall 4) the ability to turn into a giant cat that can belch lasers?

I am wicked tall, you know that, Ponder. Lasers out of my eyeballs, without question. Don’t ask me why, I’m too tired to think.

T.R.U.D.I. has crashed into a planet and is probably “dead”. Do you think she went to spaceship heaven?

T.R.U.D.I. is in spaceship hell, being whipped by a smaller, angrier spaceship.
