You don't need an "assistant" for exposition. They were there to provide the "pretty girl" for the sake of ratings. That's the vagaries of television, unless there is some unusual creative control, like with, "X-Files". In a better parallel universe somewhere drwho is owned by someone with creative control, like with Chris Carter and, "The X-Files"...
Im glad that in the new series that the doctor is still the same but the companions have much more respect and are bigger characters rather than standing around saying "what is it doctor?"
I recorded these off the air back in the late 1980's. I happen to be going through a bunch of old tapes recently, saw that I still had them and thought other people might be interested in stuff from the 'classic' series.
Mary Tamm = boner lol

You couldn't do a story without the Doctor, good lord must Terrence Dicks fume with fury every time there's a Doctor lite story in the new show.

Louise Jameson says that Leela's creator was Robert Holmes as he wrote her first story The Sun Makers.
Correction: Leela was created by Chris Boucher as he wrote her first story Face of Evil.
Hopefully Louise has apologise to Mr Boucher for this mistake.

Thank you so much for putting these up. Tom Baker is God. Heh, well, as close to it as one gets, anyway. He really is The Doctor.

Mary Tamm is the best assistant by far. Lalla Ward didn't portray Romana as well as Mary

What year was this from? I'm just curious because Patrick Troughton is MIA... (which I assume places it after 1987?)

In a different segment of the program, they're talking with Colin Baker, and he says that he's the current doctor. So...1986 maybe?

IDK personally I think the young Sarah Jane Smith was really more attractive... but I guess that's splitting hairs.

That's very much in the tradition of Dr. Who. You don't happen to have any Pat Troughton lost episodes there by any chance, do you? ;)
