- Hm. Interesting. Well, I don't know who it is, but we can maybe narrow
- the field a bit with a little run-down of the female companions and their
- known whereabouts:
-
- Carole Ann Ford (Susan) definite could-be, I know she has kids
- Jacqueline Hill (Barbara) could-be, but I wouldn't call Barbara "glamorous."
- Maureen O'Brien (Vicki) another could-be
- Adrienne Hill (Katarina) another could-be, since I have absolutely no idea
- where she is
- Jean Marsh (Sara Kingdom) I don't think so. She's still quite an active
- actress so I wouldn't think she'd spend a lot of
- time in Oxford.
- Jackie Lane (Dodo) She works as a secretary in the BBC and I think she's
- already married.
- Anneke Wills (Polly) She's living in Canada, so it isn't her.
- Deborah Watling (Victoria) another could-be
- Wendy Padbury (Zoe) She's married, so I don't think it's her
- Caroline John (Liz) Definitely married.
- Katy Manning (Jo) Living in Australia, not her.
- Elisabeth Sladen (Sarah) Definitely married.
- Louise Jameson (Leela) She's got kids too, so probably not her.
- Mary Tamm (Romana) Possibly the best possibility yet.
- Lalla Ward (Romana) Well, if it was her, I think the reporter would have
- put more of a spin on the word "companion"
- Sarah Sutton (Nyssa) Don't know what she's up to, could-be.
- Janet Fielding (Tegan) She's had some unusual boyfriends in her past, so
- it could be her.
- Nicola Bryant (Peri) Certainly fits the "glamorous" description, and she's
- still available as far as I know. Could be.
- Bonnie Langford (Melanie) This guy is supposed to be a cynic, right?
- He wouldn't be anywhere near Bonnie then. :)
- Sophie Aldred (Ace) Don't know what she's up to. Could be her as well.
-
- Hope that helps narrow the field a bit.
