Doctor Who - Louise Jameson Interview - 12-2-77

[AnthonyP73]

And now on BBC1, presenting Noel's Mullet Town.

[squaferno]

I don't think anyone watched this video for the interview.

[jerseydevs2000]

Leela may have worn the least of all the Doctor's companions, but her character was probably the most feminist of all time, likely even more than the more recent series. I'd say Martha, Tegan and Ace are a distant second, third and fourth.

[KevinPatrickCarey]

shes still hot 

[maninthestreet01]

She helped me through my adolesence, but she doesn't know it.

[agfagaevart]

She helped many a young boy during the '70s.

LOL!

[Monkofmagnesia]

I get a kick out of that groovy seventies set, clothing, and host. Jameson was my favorite companion. Very beautiful too.

[auro1001]

It's funny how's like "mmm" after they're talking about eating babies

[YMNTWTANKH]

I have nearly all available Doctor Who stories on Tape. I love all the Girls. Louise is so "Drop-dead" gorgeous. She can "kill" me anytime.

[wonkeaux]

so cute! ^__^

[jhibbitt1]

aw she has a nervous tone to her voice

[wcoleman99]

with the way the host is dressed and looking at her i keep expecting to hear porno music and them getting it on

[seacow1970]

I think she was the best actress of the classic series companions and a great character.

Edmonds was, and still is, a bellend and his dress sense has not improved.

[OnCloudNine62]

My favorite companion!! Wish there were lots more interviews from back in the day.

leela, leela,leela, legs, leela legs. nuff said

[lordmjh]

She was Xena before Xena was Xena.Even as she got older she was so sexy.If I had a time machine with her ,we'd never leave the bedroom.

[jtaellio11]

Louise was one of the few companions who was actually on par with the doctor in the acting stakes. She rose above poor scripts and gave a powerful performance. She avoided the stereotype of helpless female, and went on to do many roles.

[prayfertrey]

She was a genuine talent as an actor, too. She's one of those actors who for one reason or another get over looked. Too bad the purpose of her character was to get ratings; the device of the "pretty girl". This is when drwho was beginning to truly get away from it's own identity. It's the most fascinating thing for any cultural critic, how a show that was supposed to be for bright children, became transformed into the most sickly sentimentalist, generic, lowest common denominator show on.

[muscledd22]

omg she's so pretty it's intoxicating; hypnotized

her smile makes me melt

[nativesun]

@muscledd22 I fully agree! She is SOOO intoxicatingly pretty and hypnotizing and SEXY...and SEXY! Those eyes. That beyond alluring voice! That body in that leather leotard! Whoa! She is the complete and total package. a wonderful and classy woman.

[officialzaraworld]

oh my god :D her voice is EXACTLY the same now :D I am in her drama group and she sounds just like this now :D

omg, thats my drama teacher lol

[jackfordtrousers]

ZARA

O-M-effing-G it's JACK! ALSO FROM DRAMA! LOUISE IS FRIGGIN HOT!

[officialzaraworld]

DEFINATELY, we watched the whole I got here first thing on bbc news and my nan was like, 'wow, I'd tap that' and I was a bit like o_0 :D

[jackfordtrousers]

I Got Here First was on BBC News?! Daaaamn she IS famous...

[officialzaraworld]

I knooo, my nan hsa been asking for her autograph for ages :D haha

[davidhyperion]

OMG! Your drama teacher is Leela from Doctor Who?! My brain is exploding! I am soooo envious!

[ianwr000]

Noel missed out on a career as a chat show host.He's a natural.

[DrHoe77]

Isn't that the same guy who was on "The Christmas Invasion" episode of Doctor Who? The one who got killed by the Sycorax after trying to help Harriet Jones? The "I'm responsible for the Guinivere 1 space probe" guy?

[Oceanicflight815]

Are there babies talking in the background?

[pufferfishish]

The noise you can hear is most likely to be the telephonists; the show was Swap Shop and it involved children phoning in with a toy they wanted to swap with someone else.

[JAYROX1969]

Noel rocks, hmm, love that Leela!!

[Gallifrey1991]

I think Noel Edmunds was flirting with her :D i don't blame him

[estupido7490]

OH MY GOODNESS!! Louise Jameson was a sexy thang back then!

[randomdave30]

@estupido7490 She certainly looks the money in her Leela costume.... However, having seen her topless in Tenko.... EPIC FAIL!

[arsewipe24]

is that the bullshit broad cunt

[rhyfeddu]

The interviewer is like a swingin' Kenneth Branagh!  ;)

[revengeofcleveland]

I adore Loiuse Jameson, without a doubt Leela was my favorite companion,

she was attractive and psychotically violent

a winning combination in a women xD

[prayfertrey]

For a short while, until sometime in the late 70's, there was such a thing as a children's tv show that treated children seriously. That has never been done again. Says something about adults.

[revengeofcleveland]

maybe kids found it boring..git

[prayfertrey]

You're right. It wasn't very popular in its hey day. You make a lot of sense. Artist, huh? Interesting...

[revengeofcleveland]

well artist sounds better than angry drunk or escaped mental patient..or bum eh?

[prayfertrey]

It depends on how the artist behaves.

[revengeofcleveland]

badly ;P

[Jackalman99]

She does have nice silky hair.

Louise Jameson ever do anything other than Doc Who for BBC America.

[icemachine79]

She was on Eastenders for a while.

[brightblueshorts]

And a lot of Bergerac.

[brightblueshorts]

Oh and Tenko as well.

Probably easiest to look her up on IMDB.

[Jackalman99]

Thanx. Everyone who replied to this. I'm an American so I haven't heard of most of them.

I do know Norman Laer literally stole "ALL IN THE FAMILY" from the BBC's Eastenders.

[revengeofcleveland]

Till Death Us Do Part[1] was a BBC television sitcom series written by Johnny Speight that ran from 1966 until 1975. The programme starred Warren Mitchell as the racist East End misogynist (and Rudyard Kipling lookalike) Alf Garnett. Also appearing in the series were Dandy Nichols as Alf's long-suffering wife, Else Garnett, Una Stubbs as Rita, his daughter, and Anthony Booth as Mike, his layabout son-in-law, whose socialist leanings were the cue for many of Alf's more offensive outbursts.

[Jackalman99]

yes and i believe norman lear so it while on a business trip to london and stole the whole show verbatium.

[revengeofcleveland]

The series was remade in the United States as the enormously successful sitcom All in the Family (1971--79), in Brazil (1972-75) as A Grande Família ("The Big Family"), in Germany (1973--76) as Ein Herz und eine Seele ("One Heart and One Soul") and in Hong Kong (1994--96) as Sei Hoi Yut Gar ("All in a Family"). In the Netherlands ("In voor en tegenspoed") (1991, 1993, 1995 en 1998).

[Jackalman99]

so norman wasn't alone stealing the concept?

[revengeofcleveland]

evidently not

[Jackalman99]

don't copywrite laws apply?

[revengeofcleveland]

I'm really not sure of the details

so dont quote this as verse

its more than likely in a situation

where the shows are direct copies

that the copy rights were purchased..

b4 production

[Jackalman99]

I also think they changed copy right laws recently. Relating to Fan Fiction on the web but don't think that applies to TV shows. Especially back in the 70's.

[pufferfishish]

River City (a soap opera set in Glasgow, Scotland) was the last thing she did on TV before going back into theatre.
