Lalla Ward Quotations

Although the French were very friendly and helpful. On one location we were to film at the top of the Eiffel Tower but we couldn't, as it was so misty with four inches of snow on the ground. We couldn't see a thing but we finally got it done.

We were only there for five days and during that time Tom was a bit annoyed that the French were more interested in me and my schoolgirl outfit than him and his long scarf.

I think the kind of unexpected I really love is when you open books and the actual way of writing is different and interesting. Like reading Virginia Woolf for the first time or Lawrence Durrell for the first time.

Don't ask me who my favourite monster was because I'm sick of saying Tom Baker.

Oh, I have to say Romana; she was much more fun to do but I did enjoy the Princess when she was turning bad.

I enjoyed the promotion with K9 on my introduction day.

I had an awful lot to say in what I wore as Romana.

I was quite happy with the way I went, I think.

I like that totally mixed up kind of eclectic group of personal props and bits of costume and I think the fun of doing that is where I was very lucky with Doctor Who.

As for watching it, I never really did as a child because we didn't watch all that much television so I pretended I did at the interview.

No, the maxim is not true, robotic dogs are definitely the thing to work with, K9, aren't you. Probably better than real dogs I dare say.

I draw animals, so I'm useful to my biologist husband because I can chuck out a few illustrations for slides for lectures, and things like that.
