She would have been 66 years old today. We remember a wonderful actress who made a huge contribution to British Science Fiction and was brilliant in Doctor Who and her own excellent series.
She is missed.

What’s not to like right? It is my favourite genre of fiction by a long way indeed.
Galaxy Quest
Some days you need to watch a great old film on a Sunday just to get cheered up over going back to work after the weekend. Tonight’s timeless classic is the ever amazing “Galaxy Quest”.
What a lovely little film. Funny but not in a cruel way. A wonderful film, great performances, a lovely story. I love it. Does it show?
Doctor Who: Time of the Daleks
I really enjoyed this 8th Doctor story, once again with Charlie as the companion. Whilst I always enjoy a good a good Dalek story, this one had an interesting story line and some good twists too.
There wasn’t much in the way of any continuation of the story arc sadly, just a brief mention at the end. But never mind, it was still a great story and that’s what counts.
Doctor Who, Seasons of Fear
I’m slowly getting my collection of 8th Doctor stories towards completion. Seasons of Fear is a good standard story. I like the Charlie character, she’s a good companion in these stories.
Doctor Who: Embrace the darkness
Another good audio book with Paul McGann. Some interesting concepts in this story with the 8th Doctor and Charlie, and a little extra on the overall story arc as well. Nice.
Doctor Who, Creature from the Pit
Another Tom Baker DVD added to my collection. Certainly not the best story, but ok I guess. A shame really as the episodes on either side were really good.
Never mind. One step closer to a full set I suppose.
WW2 Daleks
Another shot from the Doctor Who Experience. I thought that the WW2 daleks were such a great idea, and so I was really pleased to see them at the exhibition.
More pictures from the Doctor Who Experience
Peter Davidson’s Tardis, Melcor, Giant Robot … Doesn’t get better does it?
Dalek Evolution (part 2)
The next three Dalek models. I’d never seen this first one, the specials weapons dalek before. Not surprising though as it was a Sylvester McCoy episode, and I hardly watched any of his stories.
Evolution of the Dalek (part 1)
Another series of photos from the Doctor Who Experience. The Daleks were great. These are just the first four, all of which I knew of as I’m sure you do too.
