I'm Dr. James McCrimmon, from the township of Balamory

A bit of Classic DW picspam and trivia before bed.



Yes, that's Pauline Collins, who would decades later play Queen Victoria in "Tooth and Claw", lovin' on Frazer Hines as Jamie McCrimmon, whose name the Doctor would take as his alias in "Tooth and Claw". This is from the Second Doctor serial "The Faceless Ones". Pauline was given the opportunity to continue in her role of Sam Briggs as one of the Doctor's companions, but declined (insert "she was not amused" line here).

She's smart and sassy and rather Rose-like as this character. She's got some big ol' Sixties hair, doesn't she? :D

Isn't it? I knew that she had been in Old Who and I knew about the Jamie reference in Tooth and Claw, but I didn't know she'd been in an eppie with Jamie. :D

Awww...sweetness! I didn't know Pauline Collins had been in Who before.

I think I read that somewhere awhile back but forgot about it, and while I was watching this I suddenly recognized her. She is so cute and fiesty in this. Her character would have been a fun companion for the Doctor.
