Except when she was Miss Pendragon.  Deranged Nazi archaeologists are such a cliche.  But I would say that, wouldn't I?

That reference is lost on me, I must be too old! I didn’t even know she’d been in Dr Who.

Jacqueline Pearce was Miss Pendragon in the Russell T Davies- creation Dark Season, a 1991 sci-fi adventure series co-starring a teenage Kate Winslett.

Very sad. Much teenage.. stirrings. I knew I was attracted to her - didn't really know why though!

This series coincided with my commencement of teaching. My dear wife, two colleagues and I always made Monday night Chinese Takeaway and Blake’s 7 night.

Thus I know who she was.

According to Mrs P, she's Servaloi - obviously some sort of international space sausage  :D

I understand her character in Blake's 7 was compared to Mrs Thatcher. Perhaps even modelled on her?

That could be the case as TINA was already Leader of the Opposition by then.
