In "Meglos", the high priestest is played by a woman who once played a much more important role. Who was she?

Last night I saw the George C. Scott version of Dickens' Christmas Carol, and there, playing the young Scrooge, was Turlough. It seemed that the young Scrooge had some of the same nastiness that I hated in Turlough. To forestall questions: I think that the Doc's sidekicks built up to Leela, who was the greatest, and went downhill from there (with late Nyssa as a short-term reversal of the slide). K9 doesn't count; I like him anytime John Leeson did the voice. Is it my imagination, or did the BBC give the Doc younger sidekicks as a reaction to the age of the viewers? --Alan Wexelblat -- WEX@MCC.ARPA ...ut-sally!im4u!milano!wex

K9 doesn't count; I like him anytime >John Leeson did the voice. Actually, I think they've been going down hill since Jamie, but that is my personal opinion. I also suspect that had I been ten years older, I'd have fallen madly in love with Anneke Wills, then Deborah Watling... Speaking of Deborah Watling, did anybody notice her in "Danger UXB" about 5 years ago? Another character in that series later appeared as a guest star in a Peter Davison story. Who was it, and what were his roles? >Is it my imagination, or did the BBC give the Doc younger sidekicks as a >reaction to the age of the viewers? Not entirely. It was part that, but also an attempt to get away from the know-it-all companions, Romana and K9. Adric was for the younger viewers, Nyssa for the young men, and Tegan for the fathers. -- James C.

Also, in that production, Michael Gough (who played the Celestial Toymaker, and Councillor Hedin in "Arc of Infinity") played one of the people asking Scrooge for charity. . ------- |-----| A. G.
