Conception and behind the scenes
It was officially announced that Kylie Minogue was to feature as Astrid in "Voyage of the Damned" by the BBC on 3 July 2007 following rumours in the press and sightings of her filming.[4] It was confirmed that she is the next companion after Freema Agyeman's Martha Jones by Russell T. Davies on a 14 August 2007. Her surname, Peth, is confirmed in the Christmas edition of Radio Times.

Russell T. Davies has stated that the character was always be going to be a "one-off" even before Kylie Minogue was cast and that Astrid will demonstrate "a whole new take - again - on what a companion can be."

Tenth Doctor actor David Tennant interviewed Kylie Minogue about her role in "Voyage of the Damned" on BBC Radio 2 in X-Amining Kylie first broadcast on 27th November 2007.[5] On Doctor Who Confidential, Minogue describes Astrid as a "dreamer" and that meeting with the Doctor rekindles Astrid's desire to explore. Russell T. Davies reveals that when he first discussed the role of Astrid with Kylie Minogue he had not written that she would be killed off.

Astrid is the first companion in the revived series of Doctor Who to never set foot in the TARDIS, let alone travel in it. She only sees the TARDIS from a distance adrift.
