Am I Annoying?

She brought glamour to The Key To Time, but was then replaced. Her successor shagged Tom Baker... was this a lucky escape or a missed opportunity? "Am I Annoying?", pouts...

Name

Mary Tamm

Resume

Starred as Romana in one season's worth of TV's Doctor Who. So glamorous it has proved very difficult to criticise her. Hopefully you, the viewers, will find it easier to do so.

She was in Crime Traveller

 

Why she might not be annoying

Her devotion to Doctor Who knew no bounds... she appeared on chatshows publicising The Five Doctors despite not being in it

She made Tom Baker very happy in an airport

She was the Doctor's most glamorous companion

She's still something of a looker even now

Her promotional appearance on Saturday Superstore with Colin Baker is a thing of legend

 


Some Comments From Voters


I
like her! She's like a chicken in a basket version of Kate O'Mara.


she looked great in curlers.


it wasn't really Mary's fault that she was rubbish


I liked the way she completely failed to outstay her welcome, unlike certain Australian air hostesses, robot dogs, 30 year old women who shout "wicked", etc...


She had plenty of wooden moments for sure - but she does get away with it all for the glamour and good looks. Shallow but true!


we did a convention with Mary as a guest, I had the responsibility of looking after her for the day. She was an absolutely fabulous lady, a real laugh and really talkative and approachable. She even drank a pint of Guinness, which was a birrova surprise!
 

 

She's annoying - but in a different, nicer way to the way Michael Grade is annoying. A glamorous harridan.

She's annoying for trading off her moments of Doctor Who glory every time she's interviewed even though she really didn't seem to like being in Doctor Who.
