---------------------------------------------------------- In light of the fact that the net voted Leela as most popular Dr. Who companion, the following quote is interesting: "I didn't like the Leela character at all-- I thought it was out of place, that this savage who goes around killing people wasn't in context." --Tom Baker in an interview in the Sept 1984 "Official Dr. Who Magazine"
