Actually, a lot of bootlegged copies of the first pilot (Robert
Llewellyn as Kryten, Hinton Battle as Cat) exist.  I even own one.
What happened was the first pilot was commissioned and made, which NBC
rejected.  Determined to make it work, Grant and Naylor wrote a second
pilot and produced a 15-minute portion of it themselves to interest the
networks, which failed.
The most remarkable thing about the second pilot, and why I want to see
it, is that Cat was played by Terry ("Dax") Ferrell.
But there can be only ONE!

assistant: My TARDIS strayed across a relay beacon from Steve Quarrella to All, dated
Sunday January 05 1997:
Two different actors, I'm afraid. The one who appeared in 'Back to Reality'
is Timothy Spall, who's appeared in 'Auf Wiedersehn Pet', Mike Leigh's
excellent 'Life is Sweet' and 'Frank Stubbs Promotes'.
Mark Williams is a regular on 'The Fast Show' (excellent sketch comedy) and
'Vic & Bob'. He's most famous (in the UK at least) for uttering the immortal,
"We wonna be together!" in an advert for a building society (or was it an
insurance firm?).

let it influence me perhaps a little too greatly.  To the extent that I've

can't be normal, right?!  And for those of you about to say that Mary Tamm
was cute though... I for one fell in love with llala ward, What a BABE!!  The
episodes with her and Tom were the absolute best Who adventures without a

I think you're probably quite sane.  I know a very nice couple who named
their daughter Tegan. (She wanted to name the boy Davros, but her husband
nixed that.  Wonder why.)
And I can't say that naming my son Joshua had no connection to the series
Here Come the Brides.
I do take exception to my parents naming me Colleen, after Colleen Gray (The
Leech Woman).  Though I do like my name.

face was what gave her the youthful appeal.  Her smile turned on the sun, her
exuberance brought added life to the series.  I will have to disagree with
you here I'm afraid.  Mary Tamm was too amazonian, oh sure pretty in a
classical sense, but she didn't have (or show) that inner beauty that llala
did.
Oh and I think Spot is ummmm....a great name.  I feel I should explain, that
Romana as a name just grabbed me as having a nice sound to it.  Kind of
unusual, but not completely off the wall.  So it wasn't just a tribute to the
Doc.

A Who fan ha?  What good taste you have.  Now this is my forte.  Leela wore
less yes, and would have been an athletic bed mate, but a Sevateem warrior
would be hard to live with.  And leather gets to smellin after a while, if
you know what I mean.
        Did you ever see that episode set on Earth at the time of Jack the
Ripper.  Talons of Weng Chiang, I think it was called.  In that she's wearing
an Elizabethan outfit, until she hits the sewer, and takes most of it off.
Then when she's down to the full body lacey undergarments, she falls down in
the water, and on the Tv version it cuts away quickly.  I've always wondered
if somewhere on the editors floor perhaps, there's some juicy shots of lil
old Leela.
        I have to say that the chemistry between llalw Ward and Tom Baker
made for the best partnership ever between companions, only ever approached
again with Sarah Jane, and Jamie, who starred during Pat Troughtons era.  But
neither had the same click to it.  Now Nissa was hot.  If you haven't seen it
check out Terminus.  She was recieving much male fan mail begging her to get
saucy on screen, being young and impressionable as she was, she decided to
give those fans a farewell gift, its quite a nice gift too, well worth
eeing.

assistant: llala Ward was Tom Bakers real life wife for a while.  She was in a couple of
Prime computer ads with Tom, in their Who characters for Australian TV back
in the very early 80's.  You may remember them.  Otherwise yes you are right,
there were two Romana's, one tall dark haired lady, Mary Tamm, and then her
regeneration, llala Ward, who in previous episodes played a princess,  who
turned out to be the final piece to the key to time.  I'm sure you know
exactly who I'm talking about now!!
        Leela was nice and all, but she didn't have the on screen chemistry
with Tom the llala quite obviously would have had, their off screen romance
considered.  Add to that the fact that her character was an equal to the Doc,
and so could actually communicate with him.
        So Who was your favourite Doc,  Companion,  Enemy?  Etc.
