Known to New Zealand audiences as Clara Oswald, Jenna continues to enthrall viewers over the world in her role as the Doctors current companion on the renowned and incredibly popular Doctor Who series, currently screening on Prime TV at 7.30pm Sunday.

Audiences will also recognise Jenna from her roles in Captain America: The First Avenger and various other TV Series including the well-known soap opera Emmerdale and Dancing on the Edge.

In the role of Clara Oswald Jenna has found herself in some unique situations including being hounded by dangerous group of ossified monsters, narrowly escaping a defrosted alien released on-board a 1983 Russian Submarine and heading to planet Akhaten to enjoy the Festival of Offerings.

“We’re so excited to have Jenna on board for this year’s Armageddon Expo,” says Beyond Reality Media Director William Geradts. “Jenna will be the first Doctor Who guest who is currently on the show to ever appear in New Zealand,” he says.

“She fulfils the iconic role of the Doctor’s Companion exceptionally. Jenna will be at the Auckland Armageddon Expo on Saturday October 25th only and will be available for both photograph and autographs with fans.” says Geradts.
