"I take it as a big responsibility to play Duchess, who is a lovely, warm, bubbly sort of effervescent engine that I am incredibly drawn to because she is very anxious to get things right."

Quotes[]

"I think this is a very beautiful and apt episode for the 75th anniversary episode. It's got all the key characters and some new ones and some unexpected ones, and I think it puts Thomas front and centre, giving him a very noble and important challenge and he emerges from it triumphant."
― Rosamund Pike on The Royal Engine, U.S. News
