She is newcomer Claudia Grant who, ironically (as Doctor Who News points out) is represented by the agency run by William Hartnell's real-life granddaughter Jessica Carney!

The first day’s filming took place in the lobby of BBC Television Centre itself, which had been redressed to resemble a BBC Club. Day two’s filming was on Wimbledon Common, where a Police Box prop was spotted during the day.
