MARY PASSES AWAY
■ Gallifrey Guardian sadly informed readers that: ‘After a long battle with cancer, actress Mary Tamm passed away on 24 July. She was 62. Mary played the first incarnation of the Time Lady Romana in Doctor Who’s sixteenth series in 1978/79, joining Tom Baker’s Fourth Doctor in the hunt for the Key to Time.’ DWM published tributes to Mary from many of her friends and colleagues, including Tom Baker who wrote on his website: ‘She was a darling companion and wonderfully witty and kind. I’m so sorry to hear of her death.’
