GOODBYE DEBS
PETER J HORLOCK LONDON I can hardly believe we’re saying goodbye to another Doctor Who companion. About 25 years ago, I first had the privilege of meeting Deborah Watling at the Manopticon convention in Manchester. She spoke with such warmth to me about her ‘monster era’. She elated everyone by delivering her haunting scream on stage. She always seemed so committed to Doctor Who and its fans, returning time and again to conventions and signings. Much of her era may be still missing, but she’ll never be forgotten.
