Romanadvoratrelundar/Lalla Ward & Mary Tamm #1: Call me Fred!
Romanadvoratrelundar/Lalla Ward & Mary Tamm #1: Call me Fred! I saw this thread is very much needed as it simply was not there before! I'm still in shock. Be it as may, Romanadvoratrelundar -- Timelady, Four's travel companion through seasons 16 to 18, K9's mistress and later President of Gallifrey (anyone listening to the audiobooks?). Let's start with discussion about her two incarnations (and the respective actresses, Ms. Ward and Ms. Tamm). Also speculation about future incarnations -- personally I'm still convinced that Lucy Saxon is Romana III, it's the hair. Come in, let's talk! __________________

I loved Romana as a companion, a true equal to the Doctor. In some of the audio stuff though, even though you can't see her, I can practically hear her rolling her eyes, she's so sarcastic and condescending. I was never that impressed with the eye-rolly side of Romana. Quote:

The Key to Time was Mary Tamm's first and only televisual season as Romana I and she-and that season-remain tragically underated today. I hope to find a new audience who can talk about what they liked about either actress, their work on Doctor Who, and what they have been up to since. Sadly, Mary Tamm passed away on July 26, 2012, but with this box set of her stories still available, her legacy as a Time Lord carries on.... |

Update: I recieved both volumes of Mary's autobiography in the post recently and have begin perusing through them. She was a remarkeable woman and the books and her work on Doctor Who both reflect that. Within hours of giving her eulogy, her husband succumbed to a heart attack and passed away. So both are now together in eternity.....

Its a love story for the ages. He couldnt bear being without her. And I dont blame him for one minute. Just a few days after Mary passed, he was quoted as saying he was more in awe of Mary than he was in love with her, but tthat he loved her completely.

That they did. I am further into my reading of Volume 1, where she is talking about meeting Tom Baker for the audition and how her first costume wasnt working out the way the designers had hoped. "Too white and featherey," said Tom.
