My Sunday update is once again a sad news one. Short on
the heels of the Doctor Who world having lost Caroline John, now the wonderful
Mary Tamm has passed away earlier this week.

Mary appeared in the Key To Time series alongside Tom
Baker's Doctor. In this series the Doctor was tasked to locate the six segments
and to do this he was given a new companion to help him, the Time Lady
Romanadvoratrelundar (Romana for short). Romana brought style and elegance to
the TARDIS, but could also be aloof and superior to the Doctor.
When you met Mary at the conventions there was no sign of
that aspect of Romana, instead a warm smile greeted the fans along with
friendly and witty chat. I will always remember when I first met Mary, coming
away from the event saying how nice she was and looked forward to meeting her
again.
Outside of Doctor Who Mary could be seen in Eastenders,
Paradise Heights and Jonathan Creek to name just a few. She had returned to the
part of Romana for the Big Finish Companion Chronicles and Gallifrey series,
and had just recently finished recording some new adventures alongside Tom
Baker for a series of audio releases due out next year.
All our thoughts are with Mary's family and friends at this
sad time.
