RIP Mary Tamm. Defo one of the better companions. And demonstrably one of the more memorable; see all the demands for Romana to come back! I don't think she will, but it shows the enduring popularity of the character Tamm originated. While much of that is of course down to Lalla Ward's performance (and the scripts), it's down to Tamm's performance as well. She will continue to be remembered.

Such very sad news. :( A classy lady who was one of the best guests ever at Timegate, a few years back. I felt honoured to meet her then,. Rest in peace, lady.
