| Time travellers old and new, as Jacqueline Hill (playing the character of Lexa) meets Lalla Ward. |
Meglos, the second story of Tom Baker's finale season, may be primarily remembered for the series star's double duty as the Doctor and as his cactus-like nemeses Meglos, the last Zolpha Thuran, but let's not forget another key highlight of the love-it-or-hate-it tale, the return of actress Jacqueline Hill to the series since 1965, and in an altogether different role to that of the heroic Earth school teacher Barbara Wright, this time playing the dedicated high priestess Lexa, of the planet Tigella.

As always, Miss Hill gave a fine performance, having resumed her acting work after raising a family, and found the way Who was made in 1980 a far different experience than the one she had in her monochrome days, but no less enjoyable, especially working with Tom Baker and Lalla Ward.
