5 TV series and movies apart from Birdgerton that Claudia Jessie has appeared in

1) Doctor Who

Fans might be surprised to know that Claudia Jessie has previously featured in the famous series, Doctor Who, starring David Tennant. The 34-year-old actress only appeared in episode 7 of season 11 titled Kerblam!

Jessie played the role of Kira Arlo and did not get a chance to reprise it. Since her screen time was short in the series, it is considered one of the least-known on-screen appearances of the actress.

2) Line of Duty

Created by Jed Mercurio, Line of Duty is inspired by real-world stories of various police corruption cases. Claudia Jessie portrayed the role of Jodie Taylor through the entirety of the fourth season.

Appearing in a total of 6 episodes, she was involved in an intricate storyline in which she was forced to expose a crime committed by members of her own team. Jessie’s role was again short-lived, but she did appear in multiple scenes alongside stars such as Martin Compston and Vicky McClure and even had a romantic arc that the creators never concluded.
