“I didn't watch Doctor Who before I was in it. I was a Blue Peter girl.”

“I have very fond memories of working with Peter [Davison]. He was a lovely Doctor and a lovely man.”

“Nyssa was a very gentle character, and I think that's something that I brought to the part.”

“I've never been a pushy, ambitious type of person at all. I've just been very lucky.”

“It's lovely that people still remember and are so fond of the character after all these years.”

“I left because I wasn't happy with the way the character was being written. I felt Nyssa was becoming a bit of a screamer.”

“Big Finish is wonderful because it gives us a chance to explore the characters in a way we never could on television.”

“I enjoyed the monster stories the most. It was always a bit of a challenge acting with something that wasn't there.”
