Remembered by Who's then producer Innes Lloyd for her acclaimed portrayal of young 'Alice' (of Wonderland) in an accomplished and sophisticated BBC production linked to her literary creator, Lewis Carroll, penned by the esteemed Dennis Potter, the young and lovely Deborah Watling is last-minute cast as the new and innocent Victorian era companion joining the Doctor and Jamie on their adventures: Victoria Waterfield. The character would begin her memorable tenure on the show uneasily, as a prisoner of the Daleks, used as a pawn to further coerce/trap the Doctor and Jamie into aiding the scientific ambitions of the corrupt and avaricious Theodore Maxtible (Marius Goring) within the expansive house of her beleaguered and desperate father, Edward (John Bailie).
A lovely series of promotional photos taken of the actress, the daughter of popular British film and TV star Jack Watling, on location at the stately and picturesque Grim's Dyke House (located in Middlesex) in April,1967.
